Education systems worldwide have been disrupted by events such as pandemics, natural disasters, armed conflicts, and rapid technological advancements. During these periods, frontline teachers must continue their teaching duties under challenging and uncertain conditions. Educator resilience is therefore essential to ensure that learning continues without major interruption. This paper reviews secondary sources to examine how educators respond to and manage educational disruptions. The analysis shows that resilience develops over time and is influenced by multiple factors rather than being a fixed personal trait. Individual commitment, emotional strength, and the ability to adapt to new teaching methods contribute to resilience. Support from peers, school leadership, and local communities further enables educators to manage challenges. Institutions play a critical role by providing professional development opportunities, digital tools, and clear leadership. Persistent challenges, including increased workload, emotional strain, infrastructure gaps, and unequal access to resources, particularly in disadvantaged settings, remain significant barriers. The paper concludes that strengthening educator resilience requires coordinated efforts from individuals, institutions, and policymakers to better prepare education systems for future disruptions.

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has significantly transformed accounting and auditing practices worldwide. Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud computing, data analytics, and automation tools are reshaping traditional financial reporting systems and audit procedures. The emergence of AI-driven financial reporting and automated audit mechanisms has enhanced the efficiency, accuracy, transparency, and reliability of financial information. This research paper examines the impact of AI-driven financial reporting and automated auditing on accounting and audit practices using primary data collected from accounting and auditing professionals. The study also incorporates secondary data from journals, professional reports, and regulatory publications. The findings reveal that digital tools reduce manual errors, improve audit efficiency, and enable continuous assurance models. However, challenges such as ethical concerns, data security, and skill gaps persist. The study concludes that digital transformation is redefining the accounting profession and highlights the need for ethical governance and continuous upskilling.

The well-being of teacher educators is a crucial determinant of educational quality and institutional success. This empirical study investigates the role of Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) in Maharashtra in fostering educator well-being and cultivating a thriving workforce. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research surveyed 550 teacher educators and conducted 30 in-depth interviews. The study examines the level of well-being, identifies institutional support factors, analyzes the relationship between well-being and teaching effectiveness, and explores educators’ perceptions of institutional policies. The findings highlight the significant role of mentoring, peer support, and policy clarity in promoting well-being. The paper concludes with practical recommendations for TEIs, acknowledges study limitations, and suggests avenues for future research.

Mental Health is an important factor in work productivity and effectiveness in the workplace. Though remedial measures in the work environment are common in workplace interventions, the need for an independent pathway of prevention in the education system has arisen considerably. The paper is based on an ongoing doctoral research project focused on the development of nutritional literacy programmes for secondary school students. Nutritional literacy includes knowledge and attitudes. Eating behaviours have important applications in the cognitive and mental processes, such as emotion regulation and stress coping. The teenage years include an important phase, where eating behaviours are shaped and practised throughout later stages of adulthood, including the work environment. This article presents a conceptual framework and programme elements that focus on developing adaptive eating behaviours and health-promoting attitudes toward foods.

Teachers play a vital role in shaping students’ learning experiences, yet they often face high levels of occupational stress due to workload, administrative responsibilities, and performance expectations. This study investigates the mental health and Happiness Quotient (HQ) of teaching professionals, examining how happiness influences teacher effectiveness and classroom outcomes. A mixed-method survey was conducted with 50 in-service school teachers and 50 trainee teachers from SSC, CBSE, ICSE, and IB schools in Pune. The survey explored stress levels, causes of stress, coping strategies, awareness of HQ, and perceptions regarding institutional support. Findings revealed that teachers experience significant stress, have limited awareness of their own HQ, and rely primarily on individual coping strategies. All respondents agreed that teacher happiness enhances professional performance and positively affects student outcomes. The study highlights the urgent need for school-based mental health and HQ programs and recommends structured interventions such as counseling, wellness workshops, and professional development on emotional intelligence and work-life balance.

My research paper primarily focuses on the need to sustain the mental health of our women at their work place (here we refer with due focus on the SCHOOL). We need to work on building a positive environment at the workplace that would be safe, supportive and inclusive. For a definition, mental health pertains to emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It is instrumental in how you think, feel, act, handle stress, and relate to others. It is important for Productivity, Confidence and Relationships – at the workplace. This presentation explores key aspects and strategies to foster such a conducive environment. The major reason for selecting this subject matter is an attempt to convey to the women folk around the globe that - THEIR MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS. According to a research paper published by Teaching and Teacher Education (December 2024) Teaching is a complex and demanding profession that requires teachers to navigate various pressures, such as heavy workloads, time constraints, student behaviour management, and external assessments (Collie & Mansfield, 2022; Day & Hong, 2016; Li et al., 2019). Women keep juggling multiple roles – at home & at workplace. She is a daughter, a sister, a spouse, a daughter, a daughter in law, sister in law; prime responsibility - she is a Mother. At the workplace (School) – she is an employee, a teacher, a mentor, a role model, a counsellor, a subject head, a team leader, School Head or a Managerial office bearer. Every role calls for varying priorities & commitments It is majorly observed that while trying to keep pace in fitting into every role – that priorities appear to be clashing, crossing paths and at times – all commitments come to be conceded to at one time. This ends up resulting in constant stress, anxiety and burnouts. Volatile working environments hamper the mental harmony of women, challenging them to the core. The prime focus here needs to be - HEALTHY WOMEN- HAPPY WORKPLACE.

Mindfulness is a state of mind in which a person becomes aware of own physical, mental and emotional condition at the present moment without its judgement. Mindfulness meditation, gentle yoga movements, breathing exercises, guided imagery are mindfulness approaches. Mindfulness-based stress reduction, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), dialectal behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) are some mindfulness-based interventions currently utilized in therapy. Stress, distractions, increased workloads, continuous connectivity through technology, difficulty maintaining boundaries between work and personal life often lead to burnout, reduced productivity and overall damaged well-being become everyday challenges in today’s fast paced, high pressured work environment. Mindfulness is a practice proved scientifically provides a powerful solution to these challenges. Organizations today are implementing psychological interventions to promote the job performance and wellbeing of their employees. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) can contribute to providing workers with competencies and skills and develop their strengths.
