Hyderabad: Understanding cultural competence can bridge the cultural differences among teachers, administrators, and school communities. Educators who are culturally competent have the opportunity to tailor their teaching styles and classroom practices to the specific needs of students with diverse cultural identities, and in turn, help promote their academic success.

Keeping this in mind, the heads and Teacher’s webinar series organised by DPS Mahendra Hills discussed “Integrating Cultural Competence in Contemporary Education”. School gave an opportunity to the heads and teachers from all over India to attend the webinar in view of the essence of the issue in the present era.

Guest speaker Jyotsna Bharadwaj emphasised that the goal of culturally competent classroom management is not to control and comply but rather to provide equal learning opportunities to all students. Principal Sunitha Rao while addressing the gathering said that cultural competence can help foster a school environment that challenges discrimination and tolerance and reinforces the values important in a democratic society.
