Teachers must, be accorded an honoured place in society. Their emoluments and other service conditions should be adequate and satisfactory, having regard to their qualifications and responsibilities”. It is necessary, thus, to make an intensive and continuous effort to raise the economic, social and professional status of teachers in order to attract young men and women of ability to the profession, and to retain them as dedicated, enthusiastic and contented agents of change for the society.

In order to attract young developed and educated minds to take up teaching as a profession by preferred choice, teaching should be made - an All India Service aligned with the Civil Services / Defence Services / Engineering Services. This would provide our teaching community, which literally shapes the future of the country, not only the best of training, pay, amenities and facilities but also the much needed prestige and dignity that the other services are endowed with.

If quality training is provided and the teaching service in India is upgraded, this could be the new revolution in the field of teaching which would bring immense benefits to the society in terms of knowledge creation and we as a nation could become world leaders in this field, not to forget the employment it would generate, particularly for the women.

Teacher is one of the most crucial agents determining the success or failure of the education system in the country as also, in fact, the success and failure of the country itself! So 1st priority in the new policy must be to create a platform so that young India dreams of becoming a TEACHER!!!

In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, education is “the basic tool of development of consciousness and reconstruction of society”. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) states that “Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages”. Teacher is the medium to achieve this goal.

Education has always been imperative but perhaps never more so in independent India than it is today when the nation’s estimated average age by the year 2020 would be 29 years. That education is imperative and absolutely crucial can be gauged from what was said about it even prior to the advent of 21st Century knowledge society and before the level of education in the community was recognised as an index of Human Development.
