Course Info

Preamble:

A society’s future lies in the hands of a teacher who imparts education, not mere literacy to the most receptive minds. This mammoth responsibility requires some critical arenas to be addressed and personality development is the cornerstone amongst them. Likewise the knowledge recipient i.e. the young mind of a student must be capable enough to absorb and apply the learnings with absolute vivid objectives which would assist him in choosing the right career path in accordance with his aptitude and natural inclination towards a certain scheme of study.

It may be pertinent to mention here that while there is a wide array of acknowledgment of the dire need to address the ever lingering and chronic issues of various aspects of professional shortfalls in school teachers’ fraternity and severe dearth of adequate youth counselling in educational institutions across the country, the corresponding corrective measures including conducting rigorous and thorough teachers’ training workshops and application of well calibrated psychological measures for guiding and counselling the students have yet to see the light of the day.
