ScooNews celebrates the work and tireless spirit of exceptional and unconventional educators at #SGEF2018
Education has the potential to write and rewrite the destiny of generations. Amidst the thousands of educators, a few shine forth and become a beacon of inspiration, a benchmark that other educators strive to equal.

Education has the potential to write and rewrite the destiny of generations. Amidst the thousands of educators, a few shine forth and become a beacon of inspiration, a benchmark that other educators strive to equal. 'Jewels of India' is a humble initiative by ScooNews to honour such extraordinary educators.
A year-round research has identified educators who are making a far-reaching impact in the field of education and have the potential to inspire fellow educators to change the game. In our eyes and through the eyes of respected names from the field of education, these are the educators who have chosen not only to set new standards but have also blazed a path for others.
