Teaching is an art; learning as well. Till death we involve in one or the other directly or indirectly.
Teacher, lecturer, professor, guru, sir, madam, ayyavaru, mentor.....
Hello reader have u ever thought about the time we have spent with teachers in different aspects of our life. Now that most of us have stopped in to regular academics, consider the past time till the day u quit the college or university.
It is really hurting to see the educational system today. Completely commercialized. Gone are the days where teachers were given importance, respect and role as the next parents. Teachers were an alias to parents. Earlier teachers had such an impact on students that before taking any step in their lives, students used to have a word or two with their favorite teacher and move on. Times have changed so have we.
Corporate education is on high these days. Scheduled teaching and forget about the class n students. Teach as per the pay.
Even though the society is losing the importance of the teachers and their role, literature and movies have never left. Recent blockbuster in Bollywood Taare Zameen Par has brought into lime light about the greatness and the real heart of a teacher. Superb performance from Amir Khan. In many south Indian movies, teachers are shown as a comedy element. It is bad that they are made fun of but good that the teacher concept is still unforgotten.
APJ Abdul Kalam has mentioned many times that he prefers teaching first of all the jobs. Many politicians have been teachers in their earlier lives like our Prime Minister ManMohan Singh, Andhra Pradesh Home Minister Jana Reddy, only to name a few. They have excelled in the fields they have been and an impact has been created by them on few individuals.
The growth of a nation depends on the literacy rate. Georgia is the country with 100% literacy rate. India ranks 147 with a literacy rate of 61%. It is a welcome move from the Times of India. Teach India program rather a movement is a welcome note towards a better educated society. The role of teachers is on the top. Not that people who are specialised in the teaching courses and degrees need to teach, any educated can be an effective teacher. Educate the very next illiterate to you and u r the teacher. Looks as simple as such but a very very hard task to do. Its not enough if we just plan things, DO is the keyword.
Poverty is the hindrance for literacy rate. The price of education has gone too far that a parent with a meager salary is scared to put his children into school. May be we need to take the lead and educate the people. Reach out to where there is no school. Fund the students to pursue higher education. Educate the parents before the children are educated.
But to be frank enough, we think about this today as it is Teacher's Day and tend to forget the next morning and I am no exception too. I am on a stronger mind to take on oath and shoulder a responsibility today not to forget.
My whole hearted wishes to my favourite teachers with out whom I am a nobody today.
