• Communalism
- It determines the national unity, disturbs
emotional balance and puts social
development in peril
• Provincialism
• Social and economic inequality
• Linguism
• unemployment
6. • Regional imbalances
• Segregation in Educational System
• Irrelevant curriculum
• Lack of social and national integration
• Lack of national and international
consciousness
7. What can a Teacher do for the
Elimination of Social Evils?
• The teacher should be a bridge between
the community and the educational
institutions
• The teacher’s work does not end with
his teaching in the classroom. He should
work for the social harmony in being a
model for the students and the social
worker for the community
8. • The teacher should conduct number of
activities to promote national integration and
international understanding
• Teacher should develop national
understanding of and respect for the culture,
traditions and ways of life in different
sections of the nation
• A sense of equality of opportunity in
political, economic and social terms should
be developed in the minds of young children
9. • The curriculum should be in accordance with
the individual and social needs
• Efforts should be made to check enormous
wastage and stagnation in the form of
money, material, energy and efforts etc
• Most of the Indian parents are illiterate and
backward economically. To solve this
problem, a programme of adult education or
social education should be introduced. The
teacher has a significant role in extending
their services to the masses
10. • As a member of the society, he should avoid
favoritism in any form. He must be neutral in
dealing with social problems
• Secular, moral and religious teaching by the
teachers will definitely produce good citizens
to the country in future
