He noted that the selected teachers will carry out improvement activities in their respective institutions and serve as mentors to fellow educators.
In his address, Bhuse highlighted the need to adopt student-focused teaching methods, utilise technology effectively and maintain a future-oriented approach. He announced that the Education Department will soon create a dedicated bank of ideal teachers, schools and institutions. Emphasising the long-term impact of teaching, he urged educators to view every hour spent with students as part of nation-building.
