Excellence in education lies in the formation of an authentic self and the expansion of that self to encompass the whole humanity, said Rohit Dhankar, Professor and Director, School of Education at the Azim Premji University Bengaluru. He was delivering the seventh memorial oration on ‘Dimensions of excellence in education’ at the annual function of the Kuruvila Jacob Initiative for promoting excellence in school education.
