On Being a Quality Educator

By Vijayan Bala

I have been in the field of school education in different capacities for over forty years and have with a fair amount of success not only taught my subject English well but also been productively involved in school activities which I had a flair for like public speaking, quizzing, school magazine work and sports such as cricket and football. As an educator, I was fortunate to be trained by Fr P J Sheehy, S.D.B - my first Principal and a wonderful Salesian educator who instilled in me the great Don Bosco principles of education. Again, my association with two St Xavier's schools at Haldia and Old Delhi also played a big part in honing my skills and training me to face and overcome challenges in school education. For this I am grateful to Fr E Gales, S.J., Fr J S D'Silva, S.J. of Haldia and Bro Ittoop S.J. of St Xavier's Old Delhi. My first public school experience in New Delhi taught me what politics by teachers is like in school education and how to face it. It was all this training and experience that helped me remain a quality educator and educational administrator in the many different schools God wanted me to serve in till the end of my career in education.
