Abstract

Education is a task tremendous in nature and must not be roughly handle. On education depends the very shape of a country’s future and this warrants a sincere and honest trail at the hands of those who really matter. “The destiny of India is being shaped in her classroom” has been pointed out by the Education Commission (1964-65) and to that it may safely be added that the destiny of these classroom is being shaped in the institution of education with committed teachers. Prof. HumayunKabir rightly stated “Without good teachers, even the best of system is bound to fail. With good teachers, even the defects of system can be largely overcome.” So the teacher is of paramount importance in any system of education. They form a critical component and play a crucial role in the development of education system as a whole. Enlightened, emancipated and empowered teachers lead communities and nations in their march towards better and higher quality of life. They are responsible for acculturating the role of education. Teachers have crucial roles to play in preparing young people not only to face the future with confidence but also to build it with purpose and responsibility. The new challenges facing education, to contribute, to development, to help people understand and to some extent come to terms with the phenomenon of globalization and to foster social cohesion must be met from school onwards.
