World Children's Day

Today is World Children's Day. Amidst global terrorism, poverty, ecological imbalances due to human meddling with nature, growing crime rates, etc., abuse of children seems to be growing in many communities. Let us hope that all governments consider childcare and education as one of their main objectives.

I have held memberships in The Association for Science Education (UK), American Association of Physics Teachers and The Malaysian Institute of Physics.

My published works include 59 articles in teacher development magazines in India and the US and a book entitled `Creative Classrooms and Child Friendly Schools' (listed in Amazon). This book is almost an anecdotal account of my professional experience in six countries (including Cambodia where I worked as Technical Adviser to the Ministry of Education, Youth And Sports). I served as mentor in the Certificate of Teaching Mastery Program offered by Teachers Without Borders.
