DESCRIPTION
As is the teacher, so is the nation. In fact, he is the top most academic and professional person in the educational pryamid. He is the pivot around which all the educational programmes rotate in so far as their implementation is concerned. He can either make or mar the nation and act as a mid-wife for the nation development. He can bring constructive, productive and quality education in the society because under whose charge the destiny of our children is being placed by the parents. The NPE (1986) and its revised version (1992) it is repeatedly said that "the status of the teacher reflects the socio-cultural ethos of society and no people can raise above the level of its teachers". Thus the more active, influential, resourceful and competent the teacher, the more effective and useful is the education. But in the present day society we are not adequately equipping our teacher to the level where he can discharge his enormous responsibilities in the society rather we have made him dull and monotonous. The greatness of a country does not depend on lofty buildings, gigantic projects and large armies. There fore, sufficient supply of the right kind of people to the teaching profession, providing them with the best possible training and ensuring to them a status will strengthen the educational system and in turn in shaping the future quality of nation.
