The resource person for the event was Arenla, lecturer at Clark Theological College in Mokokchung. “Ms. Arenla while addressing to the gathered teachers mentioned that each teacher is a mentor and so the mentor should have a clear understanding of oneself, learner’s and also one’s vocation,” the press release stated. She told the gathering that mentors can influence people through their character, knowledge, and skills, the updates stated.
