There was a time when the teacher's role was to pass down to the younger generation - the knowledge, experiences and mythology of a slowly evolving society. The pace of change in contemporary society has made this role redundant. The modern teacher must be, among other things, a change-agent. It does not matter whether one is addressing the situation in a developing or an industrialized nation, the problem remains the same. What are the new dimensions of     his / her role, and how is the...
