Only teachers and principals have the power to alter headlines, build a better future,” Sisodia said while addressing more than 1,000 heads of school (HoS) — principals and vice-principals, from the Delhi government schools, during a 3-day training seminar, starting Thursday. “The power to alter distressing and disappointing headlines lies in our hands as educators. Only we are capable of changing these headlines. We should commit to ourselves that, in five years time, we will turn these headlines of despair and outrage that bother us, into headlines of hope and prosperity.” He said that education in the city had seen a lot of reforms.”But this is just the beginning. The real work on education starts now.” Source: IANS
