I noticed that this forum mainly focuses on higher officials, but it does not give much importance to the basic needs of the students. If teaching strategies were also involved in this program, the teachers would benefit more. The learning process is the main root cause of institutions, and if more importance is given to teaching and learning processes, it would be very beneficial for teachers and students. I hope in future programs, this aspect will be included. I’m happy to participate in future programs as well. Thank you. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group? It’s a wonderful program. You are doing a service to society, especially to the education sector. It is very essential and important nowadays.
