Pune: City-based teacher, Narendra Sidhaye, launched an initiative, 'Search the teaching talent from childhood' 15 years ago. Now a success story, his method is the subject of a paper to be presented at a conference organised by Unesco in Bangkok, Thailand. The paper will be presented by a mathematics teacher from Pune, Anjali Anaspure.
The 14th UNESCO-Apeid (Asia-Pacific programme of educational innovation for development) conference, 'Education for human resource development', is being held between October 21 and 23. Anaspure will be presenting a case study based on the initiative to attract young talented students to careers in education and teaching.
Sidhaye's programme involves enrolling 200 students every year, comprising 40 each from Stds VIII to XII. The students are closely watched in group activities for their grasping power, patience, capacity to persuade others and ability to communicate. They are guided by expert teachers.
Finally, 20 students, who show the potential of becoming good teachers, are selected from the batch. The aptitude of the students is verified. The students select their own academic paths.
However, Sidhaye explains to them the importance of talented people taking to the field of teaching. He explains the benefits, including monetary, while selecting teaching and education as a career. He also explains the importance of the profession and why it is considered noble.
Sidhaye has been able to provide 97 teaching professionals out of the 3,000 students who have graduated since 1995 through his institute. Anaspure said these 97 professionals are from various faculties, including engineering, medicine, mathematics, education, mass communication, commerce, architecture, hospitality and multimedia.
Anaspure told DNA she was fascinated with the effort and wanted to explain it to others. She said she was happy that her paper was accepted and Sidhaye's silent efforts would be recognised at the international level.
