KISHTWAR, Oct 10: Terming teachers as role models for the society, Member of Legislative Assembly from Inderwal, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori said they have a greater role to play, particularly in present times, in shaping the destiny of their students.
Addressing a gathering of teachers in new DC office complex Kishtwar after handing over regularisation orders among 20 Rehbar-e-Taleem teachers from Chatroo Education Zone here, Saroori said that teaching profession has been held in high esteem by all religions and societies. He said teachers have an immense influence on the lives of their students, sometimes greater than that of their parents. “In the present times when the working parents have little time for their children, teachers also need to do the role of parents and provide them all the requisite emotional cushion which they are in need of,” Saroori remarked.
Regretting that the students of present times have little to rejoice and entertain, Saroori asked the teachers to create avenues of extracurricular activities at schools like varied types of arts, sports, physical activities, picnics etc and let the students explore the universe on their own and move beyond the realms of exams, tests, classes and grades. “Our kids are living in an atmosphere of strain, who have very little to cheer about. It is the teachers who have to steer them out successfully by supervising a complete personality development in them,” Saroori said.
The MLA hoped the teachers regularized today would infuse new blood in the working of the Education Department.
Prominent among those present were Deputy CEO Kishtwar Javed Ahmed Kichloo, Principle HSS Girls Kishtwar, Parlad Bhagat, Principle HSS Boys Suresh Kumar, ZEO Nagseni Bihari Lal, ZEO Paddar Subash Chandar, ZEO Kishtwar Vidya Prakash, HOD Diet Suresh Kumar, ZEPO Inderwal Fateh Mohd Ahangar, Rifaz Ahmed Malik, Tahir Masood, Shahid Shah and other prominent teachers from Education Department were present on the occasion.
