Prof. Bakhshi in his address said that the major challenges which a teacher faces in the 21st Century are from: rapid growth of knowledge in various disciplines; emergence of new pedagogies such as blended learning and flipped classroom and integration of technology with education in the form of e-learning and MOOCs. In view of this the role of teachers is going to change significantly. The teacher has to be familiar with basic ICT skills, management of virtual class rooms and discussion forums, development of e-content besides having a complete command on the subject. Prof. Bakhshi further said that the 21st Century teachers will have a challenge to produce students who have disciplinary knowledge and skills, skilled communication, digital literacy, out-of-box thinking, critical thinking, data analyzing abilities, ethical awareness etc.
