This is an opportunity for them to celebrate their importance in their lives.

Commenting on the contest, Mr Narasimha Jayakumar, CEO, Aakash Edutech Pvt Ltd., says, “There is a teacher somewhere in every child and when given a platform, the talent comes out. The YouTeach contest provides an easy platform for students to display their skills and all that they have observed and learnt over the years. It also engages the whole family with parents recording, helping with the props, and sometimes even the concept idea. For the best way to learn is to teach.”
