The Teachers' Crucial Role In The Development of our Society

The job of a teacher is not only confined into the four corners of the classroom. It extends into the job of being the nation builders. How do we accomplish this very delicate job?

As teacher’s, we look after the welfare and safety of the children as if they were our own. We develop them not just intellectually but also emotionally, socially, physically, morally, and spiritually. We motivate them in order that they may give their best efforts in everything they do. We help them develop their different areas of interests and strengths and to cope with their weaknesses. All of these that we, teacher’s do, stem to one primary purpose. We want our students to be molded as an upright and productive citizens of our society.

As one writer notes "The teacher is an architect of man". He designs the destiny of the nation by preparing the blueprint of desirable, innovative, self-reliant, productive and above all, a God fearing Filipino youth. He prepares the lesson everyday and does not stop thinking of good things that he may add to the improvement of knowledge, attitudes and skills of children so that they would be adequately prepared to face actual life in the near future.
