If we lose a teacher...

The abrupt of salary for local leaders has instigated infinite thoughts among many people. It is important to have local leaders to look after the welfare of the people and bring development in solitude places. The government has accomplished most of their pledges and I am a firm believer of their politics.
But when they escalated wages for those local leaders, did they ever thought of civil servants and it's repercussions. Sooner or later, countless civil servants will opt for the post of local leaders. More over i fret if 100's of teachers leave their peofession to take part in next LG election. Other sectors would not feel the resonance of losing their members but Education Ministry would definitely feel the pinch. 
Losing a teacher epitomize lost of experienced educator resulting in demolishing quality of education.  Yesteryear, the government stated additional ngultrum of 3500 as rent allowance. But this time when they increased the amount it was bountiful.
Teachers have been on the lips of every people stating their torment living style. But then when it comes to avenues, teachers are given the least priority. Incentives are compareless. It is said that, sooner there will be staff quarters and many more professional development programs but i think it will take decades.
If we want to retain our experienced teachers, few things like working environment, incentives, salary and infrastructure facilities should be given first priority. Most of the teachers in remote schools have to walk day and night. Some have to stay in a hut without proper roofing and i heard them accumulating rain water that pinned from the roof to save themselves from getting drenched.
There is a concern about teaching history subject in our dialect and dearth of Dzongkkha teachers. But if we enroll students of Taktse College with integration of teaching modules, the tremor could be adulterated at certain point because they are the pioneer of Dzongkha language. Most of them remain unemployed after their graduation and some leave for other countries to work which is totally absurd.
Teachers are the ones who shapes future generation. They are the ones who mingle with young leaders all the time. If the living style and value of a teacher is given more priority then the future of a nation is preserved.
