TCheers! - Celebrating Teachers at Mantra4Change

For Ms. Sumathi, teaching in a remote government school with limited resources, challenges are aplenty. Nearing her retirement, Ms. Sumathi is revered for her teaching methodologies despite the many hurdles she faces in her personal life. She has dedicated her life to the cause of education at a time when teaching is highly underappreciated in India.

There are over 200 teachers working in our partner schools (affordable private and government). These teachers battle many personal and professional issues while persevering to keep their classrooms alive and engaged. Their service allows students from underprivileged backgrounds to dream big. For many such Ms. Sumathis, motivation and appreciation play important roles in encouraging them to continue their inspirational work towards achieving a quality education for every child.

The lack of this appreciation has resulted in them questioning the need for the profession itself. Celebrating teachers, and teaching thus is imperative.

Mantra4Change hosts TCheers! - an annual two-day event where teachers from all our partner schools join us. This, being the second year of TCheers!, we are excited to have more than 200 teachers coming together to meet, connect, share best practices and celebrate the joys of teaching. To be in the presence of inspiring stories of these teachers who believe in the power of quality education, and work towards achieving it is the whole point of this event.

This project aims to instill the love and celebration of teaching as a profession in every teacher. Through this project, we aim to create a community of teachers who can share their knowledge and best practices with each other now and in the long run. These teachers are amazing at what they do and we, at Mantra believe that it is important to appreciate and motivate them further in this journey towards achieving quality education for every child.
