I am very happy to
learn that many youngsters, who are Engineers and other Degree holders today are
showing a lot of interest to become Teachers either in Schools or
Colleges. Even many IITians have
resigned their jobs and have jumped into Teaching profession.
Actually this makes me
very happy than anyone. Because wherever
and whenever I speak to others, it is always my feelings that we in schools
don’t have adequate number of teachers;
even if we have, we appoint them without any satisfaction. We find only 5% of the applicants up to our
expectations. If we don’t have better
teachers, how can we run the schools well?
How the students will be moulded with a plan ? Thousands of schools struggle today without
better teachers. Schools accept my
version or not, this is only the true picture that is prevailing.
We receive
applications from the candidates for the post of Teachers; Some of the candidates who have finished M.A.
Eng Lit. don’t know even to write Leave Letter when asked. How these teachers can teach good English to
students ? The Colleges that produce
such graduates should come forward to check it’s quality. Do they think only the qualification is
enough without any knowledge? Finally
we see who suffers.
I also understood
why the youngsters these days don’t like to become Teachers: the salary is not attractive to them
comparing the IT Sector. They think, all
the Engineers are flourishing in India and all are getting lakhs of rupees
every month, altogether an attractive package. I know only a very few of them
who shine well, remaining get very less salary like Rs. 8000 to 15000.
One thing we must
note here seriously: after IT Sectors have
come up in our country, all the youngsters are engaged; they wear decent cloths; they constantly listen some music even in the
parks, buses, roads and even at home.
They ride motorcycles very fast in the streets; people like me view them only in this way. Actually that is not all.
More than enjoying
their lives, these young ones suffer a lot.
Morning you can see these youngsters at bus stops waiting for their
company buses. They eat canteen food in
the morning and afternoon; they are
squeezed there in the companies; they
don’t get any time to take rest;
companies do have many big Gyms, highly sophisticated physical exercise
equipments. These equipments are kept in
the Company Halls to be used by the employees. But, no Special Trainer is there to see the
Gyms are used by the employees. If the
Gyms are used by the employees regularly in the Companies, the health of the
employees will be good; most
unfortunately, it is not so. With the help of employees the companies flourish,
no doubt. But what about the employees
and their health ? Are they really
flourishing ? Their health is not sound,
just because of their work culture. They
reach home only after 14 hours. They
don’t know what to do on holidays. Net
result … … … . They fall sick at a very young age. Many at 27 or 28, get heart attacks. Have we heard of any such thing in the olden
days ?
Really it is a shame
on this kind of development of our country. “Development of our country”?....
quite the opposite I should say. Our
children are our future and country’s future.
We must protect them with good health.
It is a very good sign, the
youngsters have realized the value of their health and come forward to relax in
their lives. They have come to know that
money alone cannot give them everything in their life. That is why the big change in their
mindset.
Of course, the Teaching
profession is noble. Teachers have a
very special role in our society. A
single Teacher can produce thousands of geniuses, it is a history.
I am very happy that
there is a welcome change in the mindset of our young India.
Jai Hind
