Mangalore, Nov 27: "Finding immediate solution for a problem is the duty of a teacher. It is possible when one has passion towards his job and knows the reality," said Philomena Lobo, Joint Director, CTW, Mangalore.
She was speaking after inaugurating'Educational Conference of Teachers' organised by Dakshina Kannada district High School Headmasters and composite pre-university college Principals' Association at Rosario cultural hall here on Wednesday.
Speaking about vacant headmasters' positions in the district, she said that around 80 headmasters' posts were vacant and filling the vacancies was not an easy task. “Education must aim at building the character of a student. Teachers have to take the responsibility of shaping the future of the students. Satisfaction is the outcome of a student's success,” she said.
In his keynote address, Vasanth Shetty, headmaster, Vishnumurthy high school, Hiriyadka, Udupi said, “Media, which had to be a tool of social awareness, has lost its ethics. Children are being misguided by social networking sites and media. Media has failed to follow its ethics,” he said.
“We are not teachers but we have to work as facilitators to develop the persona of a student,” he said, adding that teachers were the real heroes because they could identify the shortcomings of a student and work on it.
Meanwhile, retired headmasters and lecturers who received doctorate degrees were felicitated in the programme.
