Teachers, students interact
Ludhiana, September 6 The view emerged during an interaction between teachers and students of PG diploma in agricultural journalism and mass communication on the occasion of Teacher’s Day at the Centre for Communication, Languages and Culture, yesterday. The common consensus was that such unfortunate happenings are the outcome of growing chasm between the teachers and students, which is quite contrary to the Indian ethos and traditions. The most stunning revelation was that now students do not want to become teachers and prefer any other profession. A panel of teachers told the students that they must make optimum use of all available sources to gain information and knowledge and pick up the methodology to do so from their teachers. Since the future society will be “knowledge-based,” the students must widen their horizon and learn to see things in a broader perspective. The teachers admitted that they too were “students” first and teachers afterwards. “We also pick up many ideas and suggestions from the students, who infuse a desire in us to work harder and to be able to deliver the goods.” The students suggested that the teachers must become “flawless” role models so as to “inspire them to think.” The interaction helped both teachers and students to understand each other better. It also cleared many of the apprehensions and misgivings that usually cloud the pious relationship between the teacher and the taught.
