There is huge fall in the number of people in poor nations to take care of teaching and training, regardless of disciplines and departments. This is alarming.

• What all factors do you attribute to this alarming state of affairs?
• What suggestions can you put forward so that teaching/training would become attractive?

Teaching and training the younger are the two major components that make a nation grow. Unfortunately, the popularity of these professions is veining in poor nations. Obviously, there are reasons for this, and I have a few suggestions to reverse this trend.

The poor pay package and promotion possibilities are the two major factors that make teaching and training unattractive. For example, an IT graduate is able to take home a pay pack as big as fifty thousand, whereas a teacher is given twenty or twenty-five thousand, and once one is a teacher or a trainer, one is bound to be so for ages. It is a different story in careers like management and marketing. Besides, today, the world offers enormous possibilities for the really ambitious. To cap it all, material interests rule the roost in professional circles. There are, obviously, not many takers for teaching/training.

How can we reverse this trend? Firstly, rulers of poor nations need to realize that it is teachers and trainers that make the real differences in nation building. All the new age possibilities are possible only if they are facilitated by excellent teachers and efficient trainers. So there needs great changes in the way teaching community is treated. Secondly, new age parents and their ambitious offspring must know that their dreams would come true only if there are people to hold teaching/training positions. These suggestions, I am sure, would reinstate the dignity of teaching.

Concluding it, I find it right to say that what it takes a nation to be progressing and progressive is teaching and training. This attitude is not reflected in poor nations. Any ways the suggestions afore made are of some significance, I tend to believe so.
