@TheQuint #MyDreamSchool @AtishiAAP is Delhi govt. or the department is trying to find a way to recruit the people who want to be a teacher and not just looking for jobs? Is there a mechanism to recruit people who have motivation of teaching not just of paychecks?

Senior teachers in govt schools get above 1 lakh rupees per month and in some cases 80K p/m. They are well paid, trained and there are regular audits to check the school performances. Students are their priority, says @AtishiAAP at @TheQuint & @TwitterIndia's #TeachersDay panel pic.twitter.com/ELXd0erGuh

Discussing usage of social media and technology, Atishi said that WhatsApp is being used as a tool to bridge gap between teachers and parents. She also joked about how this communication between the two are keeping children ‘in a fix’.

By encouraging to create WhatsApp groups with parents, teachers, and principals, students are in a fix, jokes @AtishiAAP! Bringing in technology for better education facilitation is very important, she adds.#MyDreamSchool @TheQuint @TwitterIndia #TeachersDay pic.twitter.com/DcJxUyMxtw
