TEACHERS: THE HEART OF TEACHING PROFESSION
According to Mosha (2013),the teacher is the engine or heart of any successful reforms and innovations in county’s education system. Countries with fast growing economies, especially in South East Asia have realised this. In some countries – South Korea, teachers are regarded as kings and fathers/mothers of all other professions; hence are accorded highest esteem in society. They are also regarded as role models for the general public, and are required to have superior morality, integrity and sincerity. The education law in Korea provides for the entitlement of private school teachers to treatment comparable to public school teachers, with little substantial difference in terms of rights, obligations and responsibilities.

Professor mosha further noted that,despite the highest esteemed positions that many of us are occupying in society today, we should not lose sight of the reality that the knowledge, skills, abilities we have are products of the good work of our teachers. It was for this reason that the Late President Nyerere, throughout his twenty four years reign preferred to be called “Mwalimu” - teacher and not other meaningless titles. Yet in Tanzania, today, the status accorded to teachers has declined, and their esteem eroded.
