Teachers Must Embody Discipline and Integrity – NYA CEO
The Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Authority, [Insert CEO's Name], has emphasized the vital necessity of integrity and discipline in the teaching profession. At a recent youth leadership forum, the CEO noted that teachers are not only teachers but also moral educators and role models among youths.
Teachers must do more than the book. They must be examples of discipline and integrity, because they shape the character of the nation," NYA CEO said. In his opinion, teachers are some of the most visible and powerful individuals in every community and their behavior is the standard for students.
Discipline, according to him, is not just obeying the rules but demonstrating consistency, time management, and self-control. "A disciplined teacher arrives on time, prepares class well in advance, and deals with students fairly," he authored. "Such a practice is more effective than words in inspiring students to cultivate similar values."
Integrity is concerned with ethics, honesty, and openness. The NYA CEO warned against the such as grade falsification, favouritism, or unprofessional relationships with students that undermine trust and the integrity of the profession. "When a teacher lacks integrity, the ripple effect can destroy entire communities," he added further.
He also requested teacher training schools to place more emphasis on ethics and character building as much as on pedagogy and curriculum design. "Teacher preparation cannot be solely concentrated on subject matter knowledge but also on getting people ready as leaders of conscience and character," he stated.
The CEO's statement is made in a period when the ethics of professionals from all areas of life, including education, have been brought into question. He called upon all concerned parties—school leaders, parents, and policymakers—to motivate teachers to uphold these values through continuous professional development, fair remuneration, and a strong code of conduct.
In conclusion, the NYA CEO asserted that those who are exemplary in terms of discipline and integrity as teachers not only help students learn better but also create good, responsible citizens. "The future of Ghana rests on the type of values we bring to our children today. And teachers are at the center of that mission," he further stated.
