Beas Dev Ralhan, CEO, Next Education said that "Within the dynamic landscape of education, teacher training emerges as the cornerstone of progress. In the new age learning system, where the fusion of technology and pedagogy propels us forward, educators are the catalysts of transformation. Teacher training becomes our compass, guiding educators toward harnessing the power of cognitive learning.

Cognitive learning places critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability at its core. It requires teachers to be skilled facilitators who can inspire students to explore, question, and innovate. Furthermore, upskilling is not just a choice; it's an imperative. It equips teachers with the latest tools, technologies, and pedagogical approaches, enabling them to create dynamic and engaging learning environments. In the new age learning system, teacher training and upskilling are the pillars that ensure students are not just passive recipients of information, but active participants in their own learning journey. It's the key to unlocking the limitless potential of every learner, preparing them for a future where knowledge knows no bounds."
