Around 5,000 teachers to be recruited during current academic year
The pandemic has seen teachers go above and beyond the call of duty, working tirelessly to update their skills and bridge the digital divide among their students. On the occasion of Teachers’ Day on Sunday, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and Primary and Secondary Education Minister B.C. Nagesh presented State awards to 42 teachers. One of the teachers who was awarded was Nagaraj C.M. who works at the Government High School at Doddabanahalli. He has converted the school’s classrooms into ‘smart classrooms’ by installing projectors, smart boards, and laptops. Another teacher, Hema P. Angadi from the Government Higher Primary School in Belagavi was recognised with the Best Teacher Award at the State level for her effort in bringing dropouts back to school. She also was instrumental in establishing a language lab to teach Kannada in the Marathi-medium school.More Related News
