Description
Soft skills refer to personal attributes, personality traits, social skills, and communication skills that define how individuals interact with others both within and outside their work environment. Unlike hard skills, soft skills rely on emotions and intuition, which are crucial for expressing and understanding others' feelings.
For teachers, soft skills are just as important as subject knowledge. Effective teaching goes beyond delivering quality lectures; it involves transferring knowledge, skills, and values to students. Teachers must possess strong soft skills to address students’ needs, providing creative and effective solutions to their problems.
