The Magna Carta for Public School Teachers

“Education is an essential factor in the economic growth of the nation as a productive investment of vital importance”. In this lesson I have learned that Magna Carta for Public School Teachers focuses from the hiring of teachers until the organizations and enforcement. We can read here the policies, the recruitment career, hours of work, salaries, health benefits, leave and retirement benefits, organizations of teachers and etc. It is very useful for the teachers to read this because they can understand the policies and benefits of being a public school teacher. Teachers are freely to join any organizations and to use their benefits and leaves whenever there is a emergency in their homes.
I realized that the government is giving a lot of importance to the teachers and they also give good salaries. But now a days teachers can no longer budget their salary especially if you join into loans. The salary that will be left from your ATM is not enough to feed your family. That is why teachers are very hardworking but at the same time they are doing their best just to teach well their students.
As a future teacher, we should abide all the policies that our country have for the teachers. Stability of employment and security of tenure shall be assured the teachers as provided under our existing laws. The government should also give increase of salary to the teachers because we all know that this profession is not that easy. They should give a lot of importance to the teachers in the country, its may be a way of saying thank you with the service that they gave to the country.
