Highlighting the importance of collaborative learning, she noted that such interactions would contribute significantly to the continued growth and development of the district’s education system.
The DC further urged teachers to devote time to meaningful engagement with students beyond academics and to instill values such as civic responsibility, discipline, and social awareness among the younger generation.
