Minister for Local Administration M.B. Rajesh has called upon teachers to subject themselves to the process of democratization. Inaugurating the State level Teachers Day celebrations here on Tuesday, Mr. Rajesh said that classrooms and teacher-student relations should be democratized.
He said that knowledge is generated when information, interpretation and criticism synthesise properly. “Teachers should guide students in the pursuit of knowledge. Students should be encouraged to ask questions and to criticize,” he said.
Mr. Rajesh underscored the importance of generating students with capability to ask questions without fear. He exhorted the teachers and parent-teacher bodies to enhance their vigil against the increasing influence of drug lobbies on campuses.
