MYSORE: A good teacher can also become good administrator said District incharge minister SA Ramdas.
Speaking after inaugurating the teachers day celebration at Kalamandira here on Monday citing examples of S Radhakrishnan he said Dr Radhakrishnan though began his career as a teacher later entered politics and become sound administrator. The bondage of Guru-Sishya is not much to be seen in the present scenario, if there is good relation then one can see quality changes.
Teachers play important role in grooming students career; a good teacher can make lot of changes; they should imbibe moral education, added Ramdas. Mysore is known for education and lot of quality teachers are produced here, it should continue to produce more quality teachers in coming days too, added Ramadas.
Mysore placed better in 2010-11 SSLC exams, they improved in their ranking, they gone up by ten places, in coming days they should improve further in SSLC and make more progress in II PUC added Ramadas.

H.S. Umesh, Principal, Sharada Vilas College in his keynote address said Radhakrishnan during his one hour class used to attract students by following some good methods; to start with for ten minutes he used to interact and talk with students later for 30 minutes he used to take lesson while the last 15 minutes he used to keep it for discussion were in students used to clarify their doubts. The present system lacks this method, instead of taking classes for one hour some of the teachers take classes for just 30 minutes; this is also kind of corruption, added Umesh, so he called upon the teachers to be self legislate.
