The teachers in the school are very dedicated, and see their work as a vocation rather than a job. Many of the teachers are ex-students themselves, and understand the challenging situations from which students come.
Dhanvi has been Teaching at ITBCI for 6 years. She teaches English and Hindi. She taught in another school in a different part of India before, but came to ITBCI because of the different atmosphere.
She says there are many things about the school which make it a good place to work.
“The teachers are given space here and are able to work well as a team, we are confident and the school makes us feel free as teachers.
Here we have to be like a parent to the children as well as a teacher because often the children have no parents, or their parents don’t take care of them”
The teachers believe strongly in the vision of Dhardo Rinpoche who was the founder of the school, which is that everyone should have the right to a good quality education, no matter what their background or how poor they are. There is also a firm belief that education should include the arts and that every child should be supported to reach their potential not just as a student but as a human being.
