F.A.Qs
Whats in your Mind ?
  • What are the driving forces behind your decision to go for teaching profession?

    Teaching is the noblest profession: teachers are the ones who help to educate the future generation.
    Being married into a family of educationists ignited in me the flame to take up this profession with great sincerity. From a very young age, I was familiarized with the challenges and achievements in the education sector. It gives me immense satisfaction to be able to influence and impact the life of children. Teachers are nation builders, value educators, career counsellors paving foundation for the future.

  • How would you describe your leadership style?

    A person with qualities of fearlessness, perseverance, hard-work and empathy defines a true leader. True knowledge is the sole purpose of education. As a leader, I strongly believe that students' receptive power increases in a peaceful, positive environment. It is important to appreciate and encourage children to enhance their learning process.

  • What would be your ideal school environment

    'Where the mind is without fear' to quote Rabindranath Tagore perfectly expresses an ideal school environment. True learning happens when it is experiential- a fine blend of bookish knowledge and hands on experience. At Bhatnagar International School, Vasant Kunj we prepare children of all ages to acquire global competencies in varied fields through a well-designed curriculum and innovative practices.

  • What's your biggest strength and weakness?

    My biggest strength is my supportive and dedicated team. We work in unison with optimism for the upliftment of the society and nation.
    Teaching is a progressive profession and a positive temperament is it's key asset.

  • Do you have any suggestions for aspiring teachers??

    A good teacher should make a positive difference in a child's world.
    The learning outcome should be in relation to the present day scenario.
    One must have true passion and ability to generate interest in true learning. One must be a motivator to encourage students to try harder.

  • What, as per you, is the biggest challenge India faces today in the education sector?

    'Education for all' is the biggest challenge India faces today. There should be a common pedagogy that suits every section of the society. We need to promote inclusive education where every child learns without being differentiated. We need to nurture strong values and keep our rich cultural heritage intact in today's technology centric culture.

  • How can school emphasize their role in shaping future technology being the test beds for innovation and educating future generations?

    The school needs to encourage children to be more inquisitive as their anxious queries lead to innovation and creativity. New venues of innovation need to be promoted through digital technology. Technology gives freedom to explore and monitor the growth of the child. Life skills to handle various life situations should be an important aspect of learning.

  • How do you see the skill ecosystem in current Indian education system? What are your recommendations?

    Today, India faces serious problems of unemployment; to eradicate that we must put a lot of stress on Vocational
    Education. Vocational skills training enhances job opportunities for the underprivileged youth. The government, as well as private sector should focus on providing skills to ensure personal and professional growth.

  • What are the Innovative practices that you initiated in your school?

    We have introduced ‘Foundation Education in Technology’ a subject that nurtures scientific temperament. From class first onwards students understand the working of various gadgets in our day to day life and find ways to utilize them better. We have media literacy wherein students create short documentary films, presentations via media to express their creative talent. Sports is an integral aspect of learning. The school provides infrastructure for sports like shooting, horse riding, boxing and gymnasium. We have integrated technology by providing smart boards in every classroom.

  • Do you have any message for the government?

    Schools are the bedrock foundation to create future citizens; hence have a big social responsibility to focus on right values and proper education. Government is the facilitator to provide the ways and means so government policies in sync with schools will hold a bright future for our children. The government works on the policies for the benefit of the youth and schools help to empower them with inclusive education.
