Be aware of your Cognitive Abilities

The first and foremost duty of any teacher is to make the students aware of their cognitive abilities. The next step is to help them think scientifically and train their minds to think using the skills of serendipity and brainstorming techniques. When the teachers achieve this, it is like the opening of a thousand eyes of their students.

Olympic and Nobel prizes are elusive for Indians, because we are non-linear thinkers and our aims are not future-oriented. When our students begin to learn how to learn, how to think, how to train their minds to think and how to utilize their learning in their lives, they will start using their cognitive potential fully well. Hence to achieve world class education what we need today is change of mind.
