Faculty’s Views:

“Teaching is a calling. It is a profession that is demanding, challenging, and sometimes frustrating. For those who are true educators, however, the drawbacks are easily outweighed by the satisfaction they feel from passing on knowledge to future generations. Teachers have a knack for making people understand things and explaining difficult concepts in a way that everyone can understand them. Teaching isn’t for everyone, but if you’re passionate about children and preparing themfor future success, the concurrent Bachelor of Education degree may be for you!”

“It needs no description that the teacher is pivot of any educational system for the younger pupils. On him rests the failure and success of the educational system. If the teachers are well educated and trained and if they are intellectually alive and take less interest in their job, then only the success is ensured, but if on the other hand, they lack training in education and if they can’t give their heart to their job, the system is sure to fail. The teacher is the dynamic force of the educational system. Education without a teacher is just like a body without soul, skeleton without flesh and blood, a shadow without substance. There is no greater need for the cause of education today than theneed for strong manly men and womanly women as the teachers for the young. A social engineers, the teachers can socializeand humanize the young by their manlike qualities. The teacher is the yardstick that measures the achievements and aspirations of the nation. The worth and potentialities of a country get evaluated. The people of a country are theenlarged replica of their teachers in and through the work of the teacher. They are the real nation builder. Since teaching is an art , a trained teacher can also play a vital role as student’s confident, a democrat who promotes democratic values, a detective who detects students, offences, to guide them, an ego- supporter who develops students self concept, an equalizer of educational opportunities, a guide, friend, philosopher, an inspirer, nationalist, facilitator of learning, moral educator, a parent-surrogate , a referee, a reformer sewlarist, socialist and above all an upholder of
human values.”
