The goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create possibilities for a child to invent and discover,to create men who are capable of doing new things.
“The job you seek isn’t out there in some job description, it’s already inside you, aching to get out. “
These wise words were quoted by a popular career coach,John tarnoff. Education levels have increased prominently these days but is that enough to face the hardships that come in the world of higher education and beyond ? Certainly not. Millions of kids lack the sense of direction in their future education planning. Many of them have zero or negligible information about what they wish to seek and how to look for 'the job inside them'.This is where ‘Teach For Vellore’ comes in, which works with an aim to guide and shape the young minds to achieve their ambitions.
