Attitude of Secondary School Teachers Towards Their Profession Kavitha K.

Teachers are considered to be the pillars for any educational system and the efficiency of the teachers is determined by a wide range of factors like teaching inputs, school facilities, work environment, work commitment, training, personal involvement, human relations, job promotions, job description, supervision, motivation (self and others), salary, increments, welfare measures, future possibilities, home conditions, students involvement, community support, transport facilities, etc. It is the level of positive attitude of teachers that often decides his/her success and efficiency as a teacher. If the teachers are free from all burdens then they will be able to devote their time and attention for the benefit of the school. A dissatisfied teacher with negative attitudes towards profession is not only a burden to himself but also to the school and community at large. If teachers have not got satisfaction it means that there is something wrong in terms of the academic inputs, welfare measures or at personal level.
