interactionswith others and changes in likes and dislikes,
interest and relations with others. access to an education
system in which peopleattend schoolsor enrol in education
courses, would be more or less meaning less if thy fail to
learn. And if there is no change occurring. Conversely, it is
more or less limited, if a school or education system is said

Change is something all societies have to
deal with. Teachers often resist change mandated or

are the providers of knowledge and wisdom. They are the basis
source of education for most of the peopleof the countryand
they are ones who build the future of the nation. They have the
ability and strength to fight the odds and make the country
powerful. A nation is built by citizens, citizens are moulded b
teachers. Chanakya states that “teachers is the maker of nation”.

shown us the right path in which great men built the nation.

the right path to lead to the final destination.During the early
education the studentstend to determine their aim in life and
their future plans, in the consultation with their teacher.
Teaching as a profession is probablythe most challenging
because it combine all the otherprofessions in order to help a

5. child grow. The teachers are selflessly and courageously chosen
the path where they will always be working for the mankind and
for its good. The leaders of today are getting the leaders of
tomorrow.
The role of a teacherat multi-faceted comprising academic,
pedagogical, social roles. The academic roles comprises
teaching, counsellingand supervisory roles, while pedagogical
roles includesinstructional, evaluation and facilitating roles.
Facilitating means teacher is motivating the pupil to learn,
maintaining control in the classroom and the school in general,
and creating the conclusive environment for learning to take
place. Social roles of a teacher includesamong the other
socializing roles which is preparing pupils to participate in the
way of life of the society; others includereference roles,
detective roles, parent surrogate, confidants and affectionate
roles.
No otherpersonalitycan have an influence more
profound than that of a teacher. Studentsare deeply affected by
teachers love, affection, his character, competence, and his moal
commitment. A popularteacherbecome moral foe his students.
The studentstry to follow their teacher in his manner, customs,
etiquette, style of conversation, and his getup. He/she is their
ideal. He/ she can lead them anywhere. Therefore a corrupt and
decadent class of teachers can harm a nation more seriously than
a class of corrupt and judiciary, army, police, judiciary,
bureaucracy, politicians,. A corrupt and incompetent teacheris
not only a bad individual, but also the harbinger of a corrupt ang
incompetent generation. A nation with corrupt teachers is the
nation at risk. Teacher play a cardinal role in the building up of
the character of the next generation. The development of a

than a humble teacher. So without ant doubt teachers are the
national buildersand change agents.
