That the present education system is hardly adequate to equip the students to face the challenges of a fast changing modern world is an undeniable fact. We, the members of Agra Public Educational Society are convinced that radical changes have to be effected in the teaching methodology and course contents so that the system of education is not merely information based but value oriented formulated to bring about transformation and maturity in the personality of the students.

Interview questions & answers for HOD Humanities
Common questions Indian schools ask for HOD Humanities roles in Agra (CBSE panel) — with a short sample answer for each so you can walk in prepared.
1. Why do you want to work at Agra Public School?
Show you've done the homework: reference the CBSE curriculum, the Agra campus, and one specific programme or value from their website. Tie it to what you bring — pedagogy, subject expertise or a co-curricular strength.
2. How do you use technology in the classroom?
Pick one or two tools you actually use (Google Classroom, Kahoot, Nearpod, a subject-specific simulator) and tie them to a learning outcome, not novelty. If Agra Public School runs a specific LMS, mention you'd upskill on it in the first month.
3. How should I discuss my notice period and joining date?
Be upfront and specific: last working day at current school, earliest realistic joining date, and any flexibility (early release, unpaid leave). Schools plan around academic calendars — a clear date wins over vague "as soon as possible".
4. Why did you choose teaching as a career?
Anchor it in a specific moment — a mentor, a classroom win, or an impact story on a student. Panels want authenticity plus a link to the future ("that's why I want to work with Grade X at your school"), not a scripted "I love kids" answer.
5. How do you differentiate for mixed-ability classrooms?
Give a concrete example — tiered worksheets, flexible groupings, scaffolded reading. Reference formative assessment (exit tickets, mini-whiteboards) as how you decide which students need what, and how you record progress against CBSE learning outcomes.
6. What is your greatest strength and weakness as an educator?
Pick a strength tied to student outcomes with one metric or story. For weakness, name a real one, follow it with the concrete steps you're taking (workshop, mentor, changed practice) — panels reject rehearsed non-answers like "I work too hard".
