Teaching in schools is more likely a profession related to females than males in India. Once it was considered as the noblest profession. Now-a-days situation is little different, as today it is more of a forced or obvious profession than a passion to bring some sought of revolution in the field of education. Let us throw some light on what shape this profession has taken in India-
· Middle class people force their daughters to do education degree so that if they will be unable to do anything in life, at least, they will be teachers.
· Teaching today is a puppet in hands of few wealthy management people.
· There is a clear prejudice towards each sect of teachers. Teachers taking secondary and science classes are considered superior to those of taking middle or primary classes.
· Guess!!! Which sect of teachers are seen with inferiority-Montessori teachers, which are the base makers of any child’s life.
· The saga doesn’t end here as it continues with more darker shades as the salaries of teachers in most of the schools(except few) is negotiated and comes down as low as Rs 2000 per month.
· It’s a pity that the respect of Guru in this country is totally lost, so as the spirit of teacher……….
· This Quote is apt for today's condition of teachers."Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition." Jacques Barzun
I agree Monica. Further, while we are experiencing easing of burden of studies in primary classes, the focus on imparting quality education is also getting compromised.
ReplyDeleteWith relaxation in the evaluation system by Delhi government, school authorities have also compromised on quality since no government organization runs an audit on the quality of education.
