PROFILE
Ms Ashu Bhatia teaches in New
Delhi’s Holy
Child Auxilium
School which
incidentally is also her alma mater.
Having done her honours in History from Venkateshwara College,
Delhi University, in 1993, she
completed her post graduation in the same subject with specialisation
in Ancient Indian History in the year 1995.
Ms Bhatia later did her B Ed from IGNOU and
crowned it with a post graduate diploma in Pre-primary Education from
Annamalai
University.
Subsequently, she began teaching in the Holy Child
Auxilium School in 1996 where she has
been teaching ever since.
Ms Bhatia finds teaching young children both a
passion and a challenge. She feels that a teacher has to serve as a
role model for her young students to emulate. Young impressionable
minds can be moulded easily. Therefore, she feels schools should be
an extension of the home where teachers have to be
mothers—tender and inspiring.
Ms Bhatia has a way with children. She has helped
teach many visually handicapped children and include them in
mainstream learning.
Adept in both English and Hindi, Ms Bhatia has
translated General Knowledge books from Hindi to English for Classes
4 and 5 for an educational publisher.
For her extraordinary efforts and teaching skills,
Ms Bhatia was presented with the India Development Education Award in
2002 on the occasion of World Children’s Summit.
Ms Bhatia counts reading and cooking among her
myriad hobbies and loves to surf the Net to keep her abreast of the
latest innovations in teaching methodologies.
