This concept is fundamental for comprehending and examining the intricate progression of human development.

This entails tackling intricate and weighty responsibilities, such as nurturing their critical thinking, communication skills, reading proficiency, and work aptitude. To effectively address these objectives, it’s imperative to possess not only the theoretical underpinnings of pedagogy, subject-specific teaching methodologies, and a grasp of fundamental aspects of students’ physiology and hygiene, but also a degree of psychological knowledge.
