Abstract

Education is a process of facilitating learning of knowledge, skills, values and habits. Basically, teaching must include two major components - sending and receiving information. Ultimately, a teacher tries his best to impart knowledge the way he understood it. The purpose of education is not only to make the students literate, but also to make them creative, knowledgeable, think of their own and to meet the demands of the workforce. The success of a student depends on the teacher and the innovative methods which he/she incorporates in teaching. The use of innovative methods in educational institutions has potential not only to improve education but also to empower people, strengthen governance and galvanize effort to achieve the human development goal for the country.
