Role of students in the learning process

It has been written extensively about the extent to which teachers can make or break the process of curriculum implementation. But little is said about the power that students bring to the classroom desk. Of course, there is no denying the fact that what teachers do and say in the theatre of instruction can seal the fate of the students.

To underscore the position of the teacher as the engine of classroom instruction, some scholars have observed accurately that what other actors (parents and community) do and say cannot be as profound as the work of the teachers.
