Prajodh Rajan, Co-founder & Group CEO, Lighthouse Learning, said, “We are proud of our educators who have continuously poured in their efforts to nurture the young minds in a way that has helped the students to discover their inner potential. Having the perfect classrooms and state-of-the-art facilities doesn’t make a great school; good educators do. A school is only as good as its best educators, and the positive energy exuded by a great educator is also reflected upon the school. The invaluable efforts of the educators supported in redefining the way education is perceived and imparted. Teachers have made it possible to ensure peer to peer learning and facilitated growth and learning milestones for students amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Their guidance enlightens the path to success. This event successfully helped us to bring forward the educators whose efforts and impact was highest amidst all our finest and experienced educators.”
The pandemic has forced educators to face the new realities of learning, and hence they bounced back stronger and fearlessly. Educators accepted the new pedagogical ways to ensure uninterrupted knowledge transfer.
