The panel discussion is scheduled for Saturday, September 5th from 5:00 PM- 06:30 PM IST. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly added to the challenges faced by already over-extended education systems throughout the world. At the same time, COVID-19 has sparked a new form of appreciation for the educators as they have stepped up in making sure the learning continues regardless of the situation. The field of education is one of the mediums through which we can achieve holistic development. Now more than ever the educators have a special role to play. A role in which they inspire, entice & ignite young minds to engender a new humanity that is more caring and aspirational.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Vamsi C, Joint Secretary – Heartfulness Institute said, Especially, changes happening in the education system puts teachers in a constant state of adaptation which is key to success. Learn, unlearn and relearn is the new mantra and it certainly takes a big heart to accomplish that. It is through continued self-less acts they create an effective learning environment that endeavors to increase the learning potential of their students. Need of the hour is to enlighten young minds by empowering their hearts through instinctive learning and intuitive guidance. A teacher is like the candle which lights others in consuming itself.”

On this year’s Teachers day, as a note of “appreciation” and “inspiration”, Heartfulness Education Trust is planning a “National level Webinar” for all stakeholders including Teachers, Management and Parents, bringing them together on a virtual podium.
