They say the profession of medicine comes closest to God. But, forget the doctors; in the pecking order of reverence the Gurus sail even above the Lord Almighty! 48th of 2021.
In India, teaching isn’t a dream job. Most people prefer industry over academia. Pay is, of course, one of the factors. This disinterest has not stopped passionate minds from getting into teaching, although the quality of influx remains a suspect.
With the world stepping into Education 4.0 to be in sync with Industrial Revolution 4.0, the talk of the town is ‘skills gap’ and ‘improving the quality of teaching’. Even as the chalk and talk syndrome, famously patented by professors, is waning, we ventured to find out what attributes are needed for someone to travel the distance from being a good teacher to becoming a great teacher.

"The mediocre teacher tells.
The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher demonstrates.
The great teacher inspires. "
- William Arthur Ward
