MOTIVATING YOUR LEARNERS
*A great tool for enhanced population growth of emerging schools.*

A teacher's greatest skill in this new information age is 'The ability to motivate learners to learn'.
Listen,
with the new wave of
๐๐๐๐๐
๐madness for gadgets
๐ obsession with Social media (TikTok, Instagram and the likes)
๐Obsession with Video games
๐trending of Yahoo boys and get rich quick syndrome
๐ Prevalence of miracle centres which discourages students from reading, etc.
Many more children are getting DEMOTIVATED to learn.
They lack the enthusiasm and drive to learn.
They lack commitment and inspiration to take positive actions towards their studies.
The issue of demotivation is most common among the secondary students.
Though the younger learners are also catching the bug gradually .
Listen!
No matter how good a teacher is,

And since a demotivated child lacks commitment towards learning, his or her parents will keep complaining that the child is not improving.
So, you can see that the first task of the teacher is not teaching right!
The first task is getting the learners motivated to learn.
The BIG Question is
