KOLKATA: Principals and educationists from over 70 schools across the city will come together on November 23 for Times NIE Principals' Seminar this year. The seminar will be held in association with the Vellore Institute of Technology at the J W Marriott. While registrations will start at 11am, the event will begin from 11.30am.

The topic for the seminar is 'Successful career options for students'. A panel of distinguished personalities, including national award winning filmmaker Ashoke Viswanathan and celebrated anchor and RJ Mir will speak on the topic. Renowned journalist and former sheriff of Kolkata, Utpal Chatterjee, will be the chief guest and moderator of the event.

Keeping ourselves abreast of the changing trends in education around us has been one of the core values of Times NIE. As a newspaper that caters to the education sector, it is our duty to bring together the educationists and policy makers for a healthy dialogue regarding challenges in the education field without compromising with the quality. This is a golden opportunity for stalwarts within the education field to get together, debate and discuss the way forward in school education, take back ideas and apply them in schools. Therefore, it will not be an exaggeration to say that principals will go back with new ideas.
