Teachers are agents of change and national builders. As change agents, teachers have the ability to influence students and society through both quantitative and qualitative changes. They can challenge mindsets and social norms to reform attitudes and project new values. As national builders, teachers play a vital role in educating and shaping future generations of citizens. Through their work, sacrifices, and guidance, teachers help build the foundation of a strong nation by molding students' characters and showing them the right path. A country relies on its teachers to develop well-educated citizens and instill good morals in the next generation.

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

populationit is supposed to be serving.
Change is something all societies have to
deal with. Teachers often resist change mandated or
suggested by others but they do engage in change that they

education the studentstend to determine their aim in life and
their future plans, in the consultation with their teacher.

because it combine all the otherprofessions in order to help a

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

national buildersand change agents.
