New Delhi [India], November 28: In a noble initiative to celebrate the remarkable teaching talents of India, the Saamarthya Teachers Training Academy of Research (STTAR), a prominent institution in the field of education, proudly unveils the National Teachers' Olympiad.
The event is scheduled for December 9th and 10th, offering a unique platform for teachers and aspiring instructors to showcase their pedagogical skills and gain national recognition.
Educators from across the country can participate in this comprehensive online test that evaluates their knowledge and teaching prowess in both English and Hindi. The test is open to in-service teachers, aspiring educators, school principals, heads of departments, teacher trainers, private tutors, former teachers, ed-tech teachers, and education influencers.
With this, they can better understand their strengths and weaknesses and hone their instruction abilities. This inclusive approach ensures a level playing field for all educators, irrespective of their teaching domain. Moreover, teachers and instructors can participate in one or both days of the event to improve their chances of accomplishing a higher rank.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of Industry 4.0, educators will have to play a crucial role in the holistic development and future-proofing of students. As per the Ministry of Education, the Indian education system comprises over 14.89 lakh schools, over 95 lakh teachers, and almost 26.52 crore students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds in pre-primary and higher secondary levels.
