"The Significance of Teachers Duties to any Government on Education"

Teachers inculcates moral values/virtues and disciplines, molds the characters-behaviors, inspires and impact skills and knowledge and develops individual in a country (mentally, physically, emotionally, socially and even spiritually) in line with the fundamental objectives, beliefs, customs, philosophies, policies, principles and the laws of the government of any country.

Teachers are faced with the greatest responsibilities of sustaining the society and her objectives, beliefs, customs, good morals, philosophies, policies, principles and laws. Definitely the learners will learn those evils from such teachers, this corrupts the good thing they had been trying to teach those learners.

The quality and the standards of teachers determines the quality and standards of education as well. The poor academic performances of the Nigeria learners shows that they are of poor quality and standard, most the best teachers in the country are the educational products of countries like Ghana, UK, US, India, etc. "many teachers that are the product of Nigeria educational are weak and egocentric and their product are fake, corrupt and expired graduates". Teachers are rated by the academic performances of their students in view to accomplishing the general objectives and norms of the society and government.

To save the poor quality and standard of education in Nigeria, the educational objectives and norms should include the followings

(4) education for citizens

(7) character ; moral value education.

(The least qualification for political offices in Nigeria): should include general education or liberal education as it's called in the U.S.A liberal education constitutes the following

If the Nigeria governments empower teachers like the law enforcement agencies and give them the logistics, motivations and supports: moral decadence, crime, corruption, etc. will be overcome to the barest minimum instead of fighting crimes, corruptions, moral decadence, disorderliness, etc at their matured stage.

But this could not be the reason for the recent teachers strike in Nigeria, teachers are clamoring for salary structure in all the Nigeria states.
