Teaching will not be meaningful unless the students are liberated from anxieties and fear complex, stated C.K. Ahammed, member of the board of studies at the University of Calicut, University of Kannur and Hamdard University and the head of the department of English at Farooq College.

Delivering the keynote address at a seminar held at Alif International School, Riyadh, he said: “The foundation of a better society depends on the building of sparkling personalities. The personality development of students takes place when they assimilate broad vision beyond the textbooks. To realize this, our classroom must be free and constructive. Teachers should pay attention to equipping students with confidence so that they come forward free of fear.”

P.K Abdul Nasser, former head of the department of English at Farooq College, inaugurated the seminar. School Principal K.C. Shaijal presided over the meeting. Executive Director Luqman Pazhur and CEO Mahmood Abbas also spoke.

Academic Coordinator Aiyman Khan delivered the welcome speech and Coordinator Sonia Mustafa presented the vote of thanks.
