National Youth Day 2021

This year PCER, Chembur commemorated the National Youth Day with a Quiz as well as a talk by an eminent monk from the Ramakrishna Mission, Mumbai.

The quiz was created via Google Form in order to assess the knowledge of the students of Chembur English High School (CEHS) and the teacher-trainees of PCER, Chembur. Questions were asked from the life of Swami Vivekananda and the participants were also provided with fun-facts from Swamiji’s life.

To impart more knowledge about the relevance of Swami Vivekananda to the youth of the nation, PCER Chembur was fortunate to be in conversation with Swami Devakantyananda from Ramakrishna Mission, Mumbai who spoke to us about Swami Vivekananda’s philosophy on Education, Teachers and Youth. This conversation took place on the 14th January, 2021 and was streamed live over PCER, Chembur’s Youtube channel.

Swami Devakantyananda reinterpreted Swami Vivekananda’s views on education and reiterated how these can be used by a modern teacher to inspire the youth of today.

Panel Discussion on “Should Men Opt For Teaching As A Profession?”

A Panel Discussion on “Should Men opt for Teaching as a profession?” was organized by MES’s PCER, Chembur. The discussion was moderated by Ms. Farzana Dohadwala. The three panelists on the discussion were:

  1. Mr. Suresh Shetty, Academic Head, Mahesh Tutorials
  2. Mr. Shelwin Pereira, President, Theresa High School
  3. Mr. Nikil Fernandes, Teacher, Christ Church School

Choosing Teaching as a Profession for a male teacher was a choice for them, right from ages, when we say Teacher we think of a female teacher, where most of the schools had a male teacher as physical training, drawing, or craft teacher. As of all we say that the teacher is a second mother who is caring, kind and considerate. But as a male teacher, they faced challenges from the student point of view that a male teacher is strict, tough and rigid to them but nowadays, even a male teacher is kind towards the student. In all, a male teacher tries to keep the class enthusiastic, so that the students interact with them and the class will be interesting. At last in the end of the discussion Mr. Suresh Shetty said, “If you do what you enjoy and you can achieve excellence in that and once you achieve excellence in any field, you have great career in any field, In any field you enjoy doing you can achieve excellence in that and once you achieve excellence everything else will follow.”

Once upon a time … Stories to overcome depression, anxiety, stress

Once upon a time the world was threatened by a tiny germ which had the capacity to knock the life out of anybody who it came in contact with. The nations world wide were arrested under a lockdown so strict, that it sent across waves of hopelessness and despair. It was like opening Pandora’s box all over again!

People were slowly but steadily being snared in the clutches of the evils set out by this doomed box. Apart from the life threatening virus spreading across the world like wildfire, this was a mental virus nobody had a cure for. No medicines, no therapy, no operation could curb this dreadful illness. Until…

One morning our Principal, Dr. Reni Francis sat down to tell us stories. Through her session on 17th June 2020, Once upon a time … stories to overcome depression, anxiety, stress, Dr. Reni Francis narrated stories of hope, stories of harmony, stories of positivity. The stories she narrated were of optimism and resilience which gave us a newfound vigour to face life and overcome our difficulties. People from all walks of life listened to the stories ardently. It was like fresh air breathed into the lives of the listeners. The stories nourished us and awakened hope to overcome tough times. It made us believe there is light at the end of the tunnel. That, it is only a matter of endurance and patience required to bring out the best in ourselves.

Just like the Hope that arose last from Pandora’s box, tales of endurance and optimism swept over our hearts and washed away the evil spirits of anxiety, depression and stress. For we realized that the antidote needed for this mental virus could be found nowhere but from within.

And just like that with hope in our hearts and courage in our hands, thanking our dear Principal for rekindling our spirits, we renewed and rejuvenated ourselves to meet the challenges ahead.

World Day for International Justice

In order to mark the World Day for International Justice, the Department of Co-Curricular Activities organized a talk titled ‘Your Courage – Your Asset’ where we interacted with Ms. Meenakshi Mukherjee, a legal consultant and PoSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) enabler who spoke about ‘PoSH and the Legal Rights of Teachers.’ The event was in line with SDG #5: Gender Equality and had 95 live views on PCER’s YouTube channel.

The discussion started with Ms. Meenakshi speaking about the importance of the day as well as the need for justice. She also spoke about the history of the PoSH Act in India as the workplace is one of the main areas where justice is required. Teachers,therefore, needed to be aware about what constitutes harassment, whether sexual or not and in case the harassment is sexual in nature, what is the legal recourse available to them.

Few of the things which came out of the discussion were:

  1. Under the umbrella of the PoSH Act 2013, every school or college can frame their own guidelines for PoSH.
  2. The UGC has also published guidelines for the same and these are gender-neutral and all encompassing.
  3. Every HEI should set up guidelines and practices to enable gender equality and promote good practices among all stakeholders.
  4. The role of a PoSH enabler becomes very crucial in setting up such guidelines.
  5. All trainee-teachers should know their legal rights in case they are harassed and this will begin with being able to understand when and how they are being harassed and how they can collect evidence regarding the same.
