Teacher as Agent of Economic
Change
Education is a fundamental aspect in the development of a
country. It is one of the most important investments a
country can make in its future.

Education is a powerful agent of change, improves health and

livelihoods, contributes to social stability and drives long-term
economic growth.

Education plays a very crucial role in securing economic and

social progress and improving income distribution.
Teachers Play a Great Role in the
Economic Development of the Country

- They Provide the Power of Education

- Teachers increase productivity and creativity of students and

therefore, of future workers. When students are pushed to
be creative and productive, they are more likely to be
entrepreneurial and make technological advances,
ultimately leading to economic development of a country.

 Why Teach Moral Values in Schools?

1. To prepare our children for their future roles in society

2. Because many parents aren’t teaching moral values

around them
