If you ask me for the reasons of stagnation of our country, my first target spot will be the outdated education system. There are many loopholes, but I will specifically highlight some (three) important factors behind failed teachers. The frontline is failed due to uncommitted, uninspiring, and crippled educators.
First of all, our mentorship is not professional. They feel education as a burden and always realize that they are lagging behind in the ruthless competition of materialism. They are in the race for a better-paying profession. They have not chosen the profession of teaching intentionally, but accidentally they have become part of this system. If you offer them any other good-paying job, they will take no time to opt for it. Their passion is not education. They are just here for consuming the precious time of students recklessly.
Of course, we cannot ignore the reason for this perplexity. No doubt, low teachers’ income compels them to do so. After all, by chance, they become teachers, and by heart, they are not devoted.
The second agent for failure is their uninspiring nature. Often, teachers are victims of exploitation in most private institutions. They work in very worst conditions. It silently kills the teacher’s ecstatic sense, which leads to serious distortion in their confidence. Themselves, they surrender to intensive future demands in their own lives. They have not much credible achievement for surprising students. Most of them are vulnerable to pedagogical excellence. They copy the prevailing, so-called methodology, which is being practiced everywhere. Hence, growing minds never receive the bump, which could move them for explorational flight.
The third and last major factor is the crippled engagement with pupils. Here is a gap of fear, which suppresses the innocent minds. The puzzled question remains stuck in their minds forever. According to them, a question is disrespect, and obedience to their blind conscious is right. There is almost a copy version of the master-slave concept in classrooms. They take the learner as their battalion and dictate to them. Eventually, with the mentioned combinations, a graduate comes to serve the country with a preset psychological composition. With the poor guidance and insufficient credibility, the servant is ready to further devastate the system. As a result of the crippled education system, the future outcome is dumb, incompetent, and unconscious.
