Ms. Renuka, Principal of Samskar School, Motinagar, described receiving the EducationNewsNetwork Award at the South India Educators’ Summit & Dynamic School Awards 2026 as a moment of pride. Reflecting on the event, she highlighted the value of learning and exposure to emerging educational practices, particularly as artificial intelligence transforms traditional classroom teaching.
She credited Founder-Director Mrs. Madhumati Alluri and Chairman Mr. Mohan Avamsi for their significant contributions to shaping young minds at the school. She also appreciated the summit for bringing educators together and providing opportunities to exchange ideas.
Emphasising the need to balance innovation with human values, Mrs. Renuka shared a message for fellow educators:
“Technology to humanity, that is one carry forward that I have today.”
Her message underscores the importance of keeping students’ holistic development at the centre of educational transformation. While schools must embrace technological advancements, she stressed that teachers remain essential to nurturing values, empathy, and well-rounded learning. Empowering educators with the right training and platforms, she believes, is crucial to preparing students for a rapidly changing world.
Mrs. Renuka emphasises the importance of integrating human values with technology to create balanced educational experiences.
Human values encourage empathy, respect, responsibility, and ethical decision-making alongside digital learning.
Technology can provide interactive resources, personalised learning opportunities, and access to a wider range of educational content.
No. Technology should complement teaching while preserving meaningful interactions between educators and students.
Schools can combine digital learning tools with value-based activities, classroom discussions, collaboration, and teacher guidance.
