Two Punjab school teachers implement modern ways of teaching to students- Education News
Two school teachers in Punjab have implemented modern ways of teaching. It took over a decade for Barnala teacher Harpreet Singh to convert his dilapidated school building into a smart one,
which now boasts of having the state’s first kindergarten section, a language lab and LED screens with projectors. Now, he is among the two teachers from the state who have been selected for the national award to be given by President Droupadi Murmu, on September 5, on the occasion of Teachers’ Day. The other is a Mansa government school principal, Arun Kumar Garg, who started a YouTube channel for delivering free lectures in mathematics to students when the coronavirus pandemic struck. Harpreet Singh, the head teacher at a government primary school in Bihla village of Barnala district, says he started the initiative of turning his dilapidated school building into a smart one way back in 2009.
He says a sum of Rs 39 lakh was spent on the school building over the years. He also contributed money towards the school infrastructure. He said, “It was a very old school building. With the support of villagers and NRIs, a new school building was built,” says Singh, adding that new teaching techniques were introduced for better learning for students. “LED screens with projectors have been installed in classes for providing digital education,” he said.
A language lab has also been set up in the school which helps improving pronunciation of students. The teacher says an education activity park has also been set up in the school. The state’s first kindergarten section has also been set up in the school, he says, adding their aim is that rural students get quality education. Punjab Mansa’s Datewas Government Senior Secondary School Principal Arun Kumar Garg says he decided to give mathematics lectures to students through YouTube after the coronavirus pandemic struck. His YouTube channel, “Abhiyas by Arun Sir”, now has around 12,000 subscribers. There are lectures on mathematics from Classes 6 to 12 and anybody can access it. He has also delivered lectures on the state-run DD Punjabi channel.
