Teachers in China given highest level of public respect

[riaduzzaman]

Teachers in China have the highest levels of public respect, according to an international study comparing their status in 21 countries.
Teachers in the UK were in 10th place in the global index which was compiled by the University of Sussex professor Peter Dolton.
The study was based on surveys of 1,000 adults in each of the countries.
This examined public attitudes to professional status, trust, pay and the desirability of teaching as a career.
The study confirmed the high status of teachers in China, where there is a strong cultural emphasis on the importance of education.
A large majority of adults in China believed that students would respect their teachers - in contrast to most European countries where only a minority believed that students would show respect. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-24381946

Teaching is the only profession which gives birth to all other professions ! Teachers are respected and valued highly across the world. But we have to also remember that RESPECT IS EARNED; NOT GIVEN. Thanks for sharing this motivational post. Keep fine.

I don't know much about china, but I do know our country where primary school teachers are highly respected by all. From personal experience, I can say that, I am here because of my teachers only. They know how to inspire a person. Another thing is that, sometimes many persons advice me to keep distance from students, but I do not agree, my motto is, keep in touch with them, they will learn in a better way.
