Teaching as Profession

2. “The vocational nature of teaching has been eroded by
successive goverment initiative and we need to take action
to preserve it”
--Alex Alexandrou; chair of the international professional
development association.

3. In his 1869 lecture, John Ruskin,
“ The Future of England.”
John Ruskin said:
“Education is not a profitable
business but a costly one..the nation
ever made its bread
Either by its great arts or its great
wisdoms. By its minor arts or manufacturers,
by its Practical knoledges, yes: but its noble scholarship ,
its noble philosophy, and its noble
Art are always to be brought as a treasure , not sold for a
livelihood you do not learn that
you may live– you may live that you may learn. You are to
spend on National Education, and
Be spent for it, and to make by it,
not more money but better men.”
