Qualities of a
Teacher

2. 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.” These words of the American
Commission on Teacher Education cannot be over-
emphasized.
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”.

Knowledge is like a garden: if it is not
