During the programme, the Chief Minister further urged the newly inducted teachers to start their duties with the right mind that as teachers they will not only be imparting education but will be transforming the lives of the children under their care.
He also said that while the government has invested largely on improvement of infrastructures in education it is the human touch that is more important adding, “We have built the buildings and infrastructures but the education will be imparted by you, and you will be building the future of the state and the country so you are the ones who will make the real difference.”
Education Minister, Rakkam A Sangma hoped that the newly appointed teachers will carry out their duties with dedication and commitment and will shoulder the objective and responsibility collectively with the government.”
The minister also cautioned against the practice of proxy teachers as it damaging to a child’s academic development and compromises on quality education.
