Philosophy of Education

Introduction

Educational institutions play a very vital role in molding the way in which the students perform. Moreover, they also groom the child with respect to its educational and behavioral abilities.

Therefore, it is more important for the schools especially those who have enrolled students in the primary level to provide the best facilities to the students. This is important because the students learn that their school teaches them.

However, organic management has been suggested as ineffective. In schools, there are many aspects that need to be considered for ensuring students learning. Some aspects that are related to the teachers and school management are mentioned below.

Abilities of the Teachers

The teachers that the schools hire play a crucial role. Depending on their skills, they are able to communicate knowledge to the children. However, if the teachers lack the teaching and communication skills, they will not be able to transform knowledge to the students.

Teacher's Participation and Cooperation
