Education is the journey from darkness to light. We must remember teaching is the only profession that teaches all other professions. Education is not for life adjustment, it is for life enhancement. Actually, teachers are the real nation builders. They only plant seeds that grow into worthy and fruitful trees to benefit generations. At Sabarigiri teachers are inspirers and our going-to-be teachers of the college have to really love teaching each child to love learning.

The quality of a nation depends upon the quality of its citizens. It is well-known that the quality and extent of learner achievement is determined primarily by teacher competence and sensitivity to the emergency demands from school system. A teacher is the most important element in any educational programme. It is the teacher who is mainly responsible for the implementation of the educational process. This shows that it is imperative to invest in the preparation of teachers so that the future of a nation can be secure.
A nation’s future depends upon the qualities of its TEACHER EDUCATION system. Only a good teacher transforms the young generation to build a good society. The Teacher acts as gardener along with the society that has to shoulder its responsibility. By doing so, we are educating quality of citizens to build a better nation in the near future.
