Sir: A teacher not only educates a child but also acts as a moral compass for him. In Pakistan, teachers are not honoured with the status they deserve. They are demoralised, face troubles in getting a higher government grade and are even paid late. It is high time that our generation should stop taking teachers for granted and we should give them due respect. The government needs to pay special attention to the poor plight of teachers. In most government institutes, teachers are not provided with proper facilities and are not even imparted proper training. Teaching is an art and it needs to be taught, this is why our country lags behind and still uses mediocre teaching methods. The government should pay attention to such matters and work for the well being of teachers in society in order save our future generations. MARVI MASUDKarachi
