Teachers Contribution In Society

Our teachers are persons who contribute much into future society with its own cultures, norms and values. Therefore teachers sometimes play the key role in forming society and, therefore future of our humankind. Such great role should not be ignored and much of knowledge in sociology, psychology and history of human nature must be included in teachers training programmes. If we want see our children happy, wise and successful members of future society we should considerably change our attitude to the teachers' education.

Teaching for decades has remained a low status job. Considering trainee teachers as social beings, we ought to ask ourselves as educators how indeed a teacher is expected to understand his role. Is the teacher to be thought of as an intellectual technician whose teaching performance may be more or less effective by whatever criteria of value and of influence may be chosen, but who has no voice in setting the criteria? Or is he, on the contrary, to be thought of as a, man with a calling or vocation committing him to the value of truths; reason and the enlargement of human power, dedicated to raising his voice for them (humans) and to the shaping of the conditions of his work so that these values may flourish?A society aspiring to be genuinely free cannot afford restricted views where teachers are made to accept theirs as a calling, spiritual in nature, and not a profession like any other. Of course, such attitude will not bring success to those who will have to be taught by such teachers in a future.
