The Staff Development Programme began in earnest on Monday, 4th July, 16. The opening session entitled “Excellence in Education in Finland” was conducted by the Principal, Mrs Jyoti Nagranee. Invited by the Finnish Government, Mrs Nagranee was a part of the delegation that visited schools in Finland and learnt the techniques that make it one of the topmost European countries in the realm of education.
Not all that schools in Finland do can be cut, copied and pasted but many features may be looked at as very effective ways of conducting the teaching-learning processes in India. The Principal gave a presentation, sharing her experiences in Finland. She stressed on an environment that was stress free, coding, educational games, playfulness, emotion based learning and learning for national goals. Learning, both vocational and non-vocational, can take place through activities and games in a very motivating and fun-filled environment. Both, the teachers as well as the taught, take pride in maintaining the standards that they have achieved.
