Why do most women opt for teaching as a career? Is it because it gives them the flexibility to perform their other roles as homemakers and caregivers while also doing a respectable job? This element of constraint accounts for the fact that many women would have taken up other career choices but ended up in the teaching sector. To empower women teachers and to bring equitable status, it is important that the teachers’ roles, their lives, their perception, their problems and voices are understood and heard. Only when women teachers are empowered , can education play a transformative role.
Just 10 years ago, teaching was considered the “safest” job that women could enter into. But the recent guresome murder of the Chennai school teacher has brought to light the several dangers that teachers have to battle every day while carrying on with their work. While the news may appear more “American” in nature, this is not the first time that a teacher in India has been killed. Schools unfortunately are turning into battlegrounds for the powerful to fight for their own ideologies and causes, and falling on the wayside are teachers, students and education itself.
