About Govt Normal School

Govt Normal School is a government institute in Barpeta, Assam, established in 1950. Campusbells lists it under Teachers Education.

‘The first principle of true teaching is that nothing can be taught. The teacher is not an instructor or task master; he is helper and a guide. He does not call forth the knowledge that is within; he only shows him where it lies and how it can be habituated to rise to the surface.’

The true basis of education is the study of human mind- infant, adolescent and adult. Any system of education founded only on theories of academic perfection is most likely to hamper and impair the intellectual growth and development of young, rich mind.

For a teacher or an educationist, we do not work with dead material like the artist or sculptor, but with an infinitely subtle and sensitive organism. We should not hammer our own thoughts into the young mind; rather allow them to expand in accordance with the nature. Every individual has in him something unique, something divine, something of his own, strength, and a perfection which already exists in them.
