SHOULD YOU TAKE EDUCATION AS A CAREER?
A
survey recently carried out in a school confirmed that not many school children
would love to grow up to become a teacher. The reasons are not far-fetched,
“teachers are not respected”, “teachers are not well paid”, and so many of the
likes about teachers’ predicaments in this country. One only wonders that even
children are very much aware that teachers are yet to take their rightful place
in this country. This is true and there is no denying the fact, but let us for
a moment look away from the problems and find out what career in education is
all about.
Career
in education or the teaching profession is great and rewarding, the myriads of
challenges notwithstanding. In fact it is the noblest. Come to think of it,
what could anybody become without the teacher? Whatever anyone is today or
would be tomorrow, whether a lawyer, engineer, pilot, doctor, politician, just
name it, is through the instrumentality of nothing but the teaching profession.
It
is commonly said and it is very true that education is the best legacy. It is
the bed rock of any nation being primarily responsible for the overall
development of a country by ensuring a robust and vibrant human resource. This
supports the fact that the teaching profession is very important if not the
most important.
The
word “education” could be understood as the acquisition of knowledge,
information, facts, skills, concepts, attitude and values that can change the
behavior of a person in a desirable manner. It is viewed as the dialogue
between the past, present and the future, involving the passage of accumulated
lessons and knowledge to the incoming generation.
