motivation, thereby using the potential to transform the lives of students.

programme emphasizes that teachers have a significant impact on their students
and have the potentiat to build a generation.
The
programme introduces the teachers to the 21st Century ‘Life Skills’ and
familiarises them with the techniques to identify the unique identity of each
student. Further, the teachers are trained to determine a student’s strengths
and the areas which require development in order to facilitate an appropriate
career road map for the student.
A state
education department officer said, “As on date, 14,786 schools from 408 talukas
are covered with the participation of 41,607 secondary school teachers and head
teachers. There are 816 master trainers. Avirata aims to orient the teachers to
change their mindset and attitude to ensure 100% children can learn. Further,
this is an attempt for teachers to connect with the teenage students and
address their problems more effectively for enhanced academic performance. A
mind map is revealed to the teachers that summarizes the neurological
developments during adolescence and factors that contribute to stress and how
to tackle them.’’
He informed
that the Avirata focuses on deepening the understanding of students’ psychology
and application of the learnings in the classrooms. Besides, it lays emphasis
on understanding the impact of the environment in the decision making of
students, parents and schools.
