The best teachers are those who have certain natural qualifications for the job. The primary obligation of the teaching profession is to guide the children, youth and adults in pursuit of knowledge and skills, to prepare them to follow the way of democracy. Teachers who commit themselves to the profession and who have knowledge, devotion and sacrifice alone can build teaching profession. Satisfaction is an essential factor in any profession.
