Welcome to Sunshine Teachers Academy
One cannot think of a world where there are no teachers. It will be a land of chaos where there are no teachers. From the time immemorial, teachers always made their strong presence. Teachers were dominant in the societies since every man and woman irrespective of his / her stature should have gone through a phase of education and only the teacher – the Guru – would have initiated such education. Education in the right sense is not about knowing certain subjects. But education is all embracing knowledge – more especially education is for the knowledge that drives the lives of human beings. In fact, a person cannot be called a literate, if there is no knowledge about life.
