Bio: Lalitha Krishnamurthy is ever excited about the process of learning and what needs to be learnt, why, and how is it to be learnt. To her, learning is natural but its institutionalization has taken away the joy of learning.
When you stand as an adult, as a teacher before the students, before the young minds, I think it requires quite a lot of courage, if you want to be true to yourself.
In this interview, Lalitha discusses:
- Her personal experiences that led her on the track of working as an educator.
- Her observations of power dynamics in educational institutions, and its impact on students.
- Dignity of labour as an educational practice and aim in schools
