THOUGHTS FOR PRESERVICE AND BEGINNING TEACHERS (33)

Money doesn’t ‘make’ educational outcomes. It is the inner motivation of students, the care and commitment of their parents and the earnest energies and efforts of teachers. By teachers, I mean ‘classroom teachers’ those at the coalface and doing the job day-by-day.

Those who think that money for material resources is the panacea, have it all wrong. You don’t enhance educational outcomes through money alone’ It comes from the commitment within the hearts of teachers, the nurture, care and support of parents and, above all, a keen desires on the part of children and students to learn.

Genuine learning and development is from the heart and soul, not from dollars in money bags and wallets.
