Nation celebrates the Teachers' Day tomorrow. I have been a teacher over 25 years at secondary and senior secondary standard. Never missed my class and never skipped of teaching. I pay significant time to make my students muse over the issues like- what education is , what the value of education is, why we were rules for so long, why there are so many uneducated and poor among us, what is the nature of this world, survival of the fittest, concept of justice, parity , freedom and democracy, how the smart use the naive, etc. , etc. I have always marked real attendance and it ensured healthy presence of the students in classroom. I never allowed copying in exam and never promoted a student who was not prepared. I never worked for an Award.
It has been my experience that (a) there are a number of parents who are not able to get their kids educated. They must interrogate a teacher at the primary level if he/she is not doing the duty and at the same time food to the kid must follow the lesson. (b)There are only a few teachers passionate to their duty. Accountability is limited to the result and it is too superficial. (c) Schools are run by incapable heads in most of the cases. (d) only 5 to 10 percent students are worth calling students. The rest seem to waste every thing in schools. (e) Governments appear to making efforts for education but the fact is- no govt has ever wished that the people be educated in the sense of the word.
I congratulate all the teachers who are passionate to their duty. The duty is so sublime that nothing else but the duty is the best reward.
WE MUST KEEP IN MIND ALL THE TIME THAT EDUCATION IS THE SHORT CUT TO SOLVE ALL THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE TODAY.
