"Education is just not the amount of information that is fed into a child's brain but it is about what gets assimilated into a child's brain. Teachers need to introspect and take adequate interest in the assimilation of knowledge into a child's brain since a child spends more time in school than in home and listens more to his/her teacher than parents," he said.
