St. Joseph’s College of Education, Jayalakshmipuram, celebrated the Graduation Day of its 54th batch on the college premises here on Friday.
Graduation oath was administered by Edward William Saldanha, secretary and correspondent, MDES, who, later in his address, emphasised on the ethical responsibilities, professional commitment, and dedication expected from future educators.
In his presidential address, Bishop of Mysuru Francis Serrao, S.J., who is also the president of MDES, stated that a teacher’s responsibility is not merely to prepare students to pass examinations, acquire knowledge, or compete with others, but to prepare them to face life, gain wisdom, and contribute meaningfully to society. Noting that while a good teacher teaches lessons, a great teacher transforms lives, he urged them not to discriminate and compare them unfairly. Discover the goodness in each one of them and help them bring out the best within themselves, he advised.
In her chief guest address, D. S. Prathima, regional joint director, Department of Collegiate Education, Mysuru, highlighted the role of modern tech tools and observed that while AI can tell a student what to learn, a great teacher helps them understand why learning matters. She emphasised that a harmonious combination of technology, dedicated teachers, and human values can transform the future of education.
All graduating teacher trainees were presented with their Graduation Scrolls by the dignitaries. Meritorious students were also honoured with mementos in recognition of their outstanding academic achievements.
