Inspire students to become creators of new knowledge, teachers told
Teachers must inspire students to become creators of new knowledge, Higher Education and Social Justice Minister R. Bindu said on Friday.
She was inaugurating an educational seminar titled 'Enquiry-2025', organised by the Kannur District Education and Training Centre at Shikshak Sadan.
With the rise of information technology, acquiring knowledge had become easier than ever, the Minister noted. 'But this knowledge should be harnessed to generate new ideas that benefit society and humanity,' she said.
In the light of alleged attempts to distort historical and scientific truths, she urged teachers to remain alert and uphold integrity in education. 'Teaching must be redefined in the changing context, where classrooms are no longer the sole sources of knowledge,' Dr. Bindu said.
MLA K.V. Sumesh presided over the function. District panchayat president K.K. Ratnakumar was the guest of honour. Retiring DIET principal V.V. Premarajan and senior lecturer K.K. Santhosh Kumar were felicitated.
