Teaching requires a liking towards profession and passion too. If we talk about infrastructure then a teacher is the fundamental and primary need of any education system whether it is for regular teaching or special education. Yes, I too agree that we should reward teachers for the amount of work and innovation that they do, not the outcomes of their students. Test scores tell us very little about the ability of the teachers. Timely feedback for students is very crucial and a plan to tackle students' shortcomings must be there. Teachers need to write an effective after-lesson report for this. But, there are many intangible parameters like how teachers keep motivated students for learning, the way they inculcate moral values into them and make learning stress-free and joyful that matters a lot than mere good test results. Thanks for sharing such a thoughtful post.
