I should prefer to have a politician who regularly went to a massage parlour than one who promised a laptop computer for every teacher.

Teaching is a very noble profession that shapes the character, caliber, and future of an individual. If the people remember me as a good teacher, that will be the biggest honour for me.

If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.

Let me define a leader. He must have vision and passion and not be afraid of any problem. Instead, he should know how to defeat it. Most importantly, he must work with integrity.

The purpose of education is to make good human beings with skill and expertise... Enlightened human beings can be created by teachers.

A teacher should have a creative mind.

Creativity is the key to success in the future, and primary education is where teachers can bring creativity in children at that level.

Great teachers emanate out of knowledge, passion and compassion.

I was a disadvantaged child from a non-educated family, yet I had the advantage of being in the company of great teachers.
