The launch of this NEW BLOG 'मास्साब की शिक्षणशाला' is an initiative of the 'प्राइमरी का मास्टर डॉट कॉम' to highlight the vital role of teachers and education in India, as the country is poised to provide quality education to all its children, irrespective of gender, caste, creed, religion and geographies under the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (RTE), 2009.
The large influx of teachers necessitated under RTE represents the biggest opportunity to bring fresh life into schools for decades to come. The challenge is to enhance the role of teachers in shaping the social transformation India is witnessing, as well as have a long lasting impact on the quality of education, also making it significantly more equitable.
Teachers and all those in the system need to recognize that their ownership and voices are important and that they can and do learn not only from their own experiences but also from each other through collective reflection and analysis.
This Blog will attempt to lend voice to teachers, their educators, researchers, administrators and policy makers in the varied institutions: Schools, CRCs, BRCs, DIETs, IASEs, CTEs, SCERTs etc., and make visible their engagement in accomplishing extraordinarily complex and diverse tasks that they are expected to perform. Contributions are welcome both in English and Hindi and there are plans to publish this blog in multilingual format in the near future.
