Quality of Teachers
The quality of nation depends upon the quality of its citizens. The quality of its citizens depends- not exclusively but in critical measure-upon the quality of their education. The quality of their education depends, more than upon any other single factor, upon the quality of their teacher

As the Ministry of Education document Challenge of Education: A Policy Perspective (1985) has mentioned, “Teacher performance is the most crucial input in the field of education. Whatever policies may be laid down, in the ultimate analysis, these have to be interpreted and implemented by the teachers as much through their personal example as through teaching-learning processes”.

1.  Knowledge of your subject with practical application:
Knowledge is like a garden: if it is not cultivated, it cannot be harvested. ~ African Proverb.

11.  Conclusion:
 The mistake of a doctor lies buried in grave.
   The mistake of an engineer lies cremated in bricks.
   The mistake of the lawyer lies in lies. 
   But the mistake of a teacher is reflected on the Nation”
