“Namaskar. I am speaking from Rajinama village in Chhattisgarh—my name is Virendra Gandhar. A boy is asking what he should do if he wants to become a teacher. He is also asking which subject he should focus on more. First of all, you mentioned that your age is around fifteen years, which is still young, but it is good that you already have such a great goal. If you want to become a teacher, then nowadays diploma degrees are required. Until you have completed B.Ed., no one considers you fully qualified as a teacher. These days TET has also been made compulsory. So if you want to become a teacher, you must gain mastery in all subjects. Whatever the subject may be, you should be capable of teaching every subject because you may be asked to teach any of them. So it is not about focusing on only one subject—you must study all subjects with dedication and try to gain experience in teaching all of them. Apart from this, B.Ed. is mandatory. You should do it from a recognized university. After completing it, keep applying whenever vacancies are announced. You will definitely achieve success somewhere. So, keep working hard, stay focused, study every subject carefully, have interest in all subjects, and gain teaching experience.”
