President Pranab Mukherjee donned the hat of a teacher on Friday and gave lessons in Political History to XI and XII graders of a Delhi school on the eve of Teachers Day.

The scholarly President, who was a college teacher and a journalist before he plunged into the hurly burly of politics in 1969, will hold a joint class for grade XI and XII students of Dr Rajendra Prasad Sarvodaya Vidyalaya at the school located inside the Presidential Estate.

An aide said the President will tell them about political history "as he has seen unfolding".

The students will assemble on the 'Knowledge floor' and listen to their new teacher. Later, the President will address nearly 100 teachers also.
