On account of its critical role as a destiny shaper, the teaching profession cannot afford to underachieve or succumb to any affliction because its demise will spell doom to so many lives depending on it. Keeping the teaching profession alive is as good as keeping humanity alive. It is therefore our collective responsibility to share best practices on how we can sharpen and reposition the profession to accomplish its indispensable mission. What is undeniable is that the teaching profession needs to keep its head above the water. It needs external help as much it needs self-help. Help from all possible capable hands can relive the profession but the most sustainable and everlasting solution should come from a sobre and emotionally detached soul searching programme.
Here is an examination of some self-help scheme, which the profession should embark upon. Success begins with a high sense of self worth and esteem. Teaching is nicknamed the noble profession to recognise the fact that it has no parallel in terms of its game changing duties. It’s an extraordinary special profession with an extraordinary mission to fulfil. The thought of its uniqueness should keep teachers going even when the chips are down. Those who are privileged to have joined the ranks of the teaching profession have no reason to despair or fail if they are consciously driven by the knowledge of its nobility and the peculiarity of the job. There is a noble call.
