Mokokchung, September 5 (MTNews): Mimi Yhoshü, Head Teacher of Government Middle School Officers Hill, Kohima received the National Teachers’ Award 2022 from President Droupadi Murmu in New Delhi today.
Mimi Yhoshü was awarded for her “incorrigible enthusiasm, which rubbed off on the community, resulting in the building of extra classrooms, beautifying the campus, enhancing school meal programs, developing a kitchen garden, all of which led to an inevitable increase in enrollment of students.”
Because 80 percent of her students were domestic helpers, she would hold classes after school hours to lower drop-out rates. Mimi also used innovative ways of teaching and helped children in learning vocational education such as turning non-biodegradable plastic waste into baskets, floor mats, old clothes into potholders, door mats and selling them to generate some income for the school.
She was among the 45 recipients that were awarded the National Teachers’ Award 2022 across the country.
