Education is igniting minds of the
learners, so that a light is kindled and it spreads its brightness across the
world. On account of teacher’s day we would like to remember a stalwart, who
understood the importance of education so well. He is none other than former
president and our beloved late Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.
He always made sure he didn’t miss the
opportunity to teach, whenever and wherever he got, even when he became the
President of India in 2002. That’s how he always wanted the people to remember
him. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam – former President of India and a renowned scientist
ignited a thousand minds, inspired a million to dream big.
Born to a very humble family, the stalwart
never allowed his hardships pose a threat to his education and later went on to
study aeronautics. Starting his career as a newspaper delivery boy he went on
to becoming the first citizen of our country. And the rest is history. His dream of a
self-reliant and strong India has always been a strong motivation for the
country and the citizens.
Some of his famous quotes that give us a
peek into his thoughts and vision on education are quoted below:
“One of the very
important characteristics of a student is to question. Let the students ask
questions.”
“Creativity is a key to
success in the future, and primary education is where teachers can bring
creativity in children at that level.”
“Black colour is
sentimentally bad. But every blackboard makes the students’ life bright.”
“Educationists should
build the capacities of the spirit of inquiry, creativity, entrepreneurial and
moral leadership among students and become their role model.”
“Creativity in education
leads to evolution of self reliant youth with knowledge and action.”
- Ms. Raksha & Mr. Venkatesh
