Former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam has favoured
imparting science education to children in vernacular languages to
encourage creativity and enable easy grasp of the subject.Interacting
with students at the Dharampeth Science College during its golden
jubilee function here last night, Mr. Kalam said, “I studied up to tenth
standard through vernacular medium and later picked up English.”He advised teachers to bring out creativity in children and teach them science in their mother-tongue.
“Creativity
is the key to success in the future and primary education is where
teachers can bring creativity in children at that level,” he said adding
teachers should become facilitators of innovativeness.
Underlining
the importance of righteousness, Mr. Kalam said it leads to beauty in
character which in turn brings peace in world, harmony in home and order
in nation.“The country needs righteousness in heart and ethics,” he said.
Mr. Kalam advised teachers to make children “employment generators and not mere employment seekers”.
