Correct Answer - Option 2 : Teachers
The root word of education is derived from Educatum, Educere and Educare. Education refers to facilitating students to acquire knowledge, beliefs, values, skills or habits. It takes place under the skilled guidance of educators or teachers. Teachers or educators help make education a systematic process and modify the behaviour of the students.
The role of teachers in the process of education includes-
- Teachers have the primary duty of imparting knowledge to the students.
- They also have the responsibility to make sure that students understand what is being taught.
- It is the teachers who make students partner in the teaching-learning process.
- Teachers are the role models for the students.
- Being a teacher means going beyond the prescribed curriculum and make an impact on the students’ live.
- They are the ones who can have a negative or positive influence on the lives of students.
- Teachers inadvertently become second parents as they have to encourage, groom, inspire and advise students.
- Teachers have to fulfil the role of counsellors and guides too.
Hence, we can conclude that the success of education is mainly dependent upon teachers.
Although the role of government to facilitate educational policies or funding, society to facilitate schools or inculcation of spiritual, moral values and families for being the informal agency of socialization can not be overlooked. But we have to understand that teachers are the primary stakeholders for imparting education.
