The chairman of the NBSE, Asano Sekhose, issued a press release on Friday informing about the event. Pheluopfelie Kesiezie, the resource person of the day, spoke about responsibilities of a teacher. He urged them to shoulder their responsibilities with ‘seriousness,’ and be a ‘committed’ teacher. Kesiezie spoke about what he called the ‘five cardinals of teaching’ also called the 5H. The ‘5H,’ he explained, were- heart of good character; head–academic intelligenc; hand–to do practical; humour–to make the classroom lively; and humility–concern, love, and respect for students. Talking about the educational system being practiced in some advanced countries, he said that teachers must become a role model for students in all aspects. Another resource person, Hovithal Sothu from the Administrative Training Institute discussed matters about the Nagaland Government Servant Conduct Rules (NGSCR) of 1968. He gave a discourse to the participants about the NGSCR ‘thoroughly.’ Sothu urged the teachers to take their jobs as a ‘mission in transforming the lives’ of students. He asked the teachers to perform with ‘utmost integrity and devotion.’ Likewise, additional secretary of the NBSE Rangumbuing Nsarangbe, explained about the boards’ examination reforms, grading system, and continuous and comprehensive evaluation. Settings to developing the blueprint of a question paper were some of the topics that were discussed at the event.
