The management development programme for principals of schools, titled, ‘Leading Schools', being organised by the Indian Institute of Management – Kozhikode (IIM-K), was inaugurated here on Thursday.
Mr. R. Gopalakrishnan, Additional Secretary to the Prime Minister, who inaugurated the workshop, emphasised that the future of the country lay in the classrooms of today where the leaders and managers are being moulded and in that context, the workshop was very relevant.
In his opening remarks, Prof. Debashis Chatterjee, Programme Director of the workshop and Director of IIMK, told the principals and heads of schools that the general perception of schools as a building or an infrastructure or just a place for teaching and learning needed to change substantially. Instead, the schools should be viewed as ‘processes' that unleash and liberate the learner.
He said that the workshop would take the participants on a voyage of discovery into their own systems and processes and facilitate a re-examination and revalidation of what to do and what not to do.
The three-day programme focuses on empowering secondary and higher secondary schools by building a learning community that is committed to transformations and adaptations of new teaching methodologies. It also aims to provide the participants with insights and tools to enhance their personal effectiveness.
