Abstract

Do teachers need to understand aims of education? And, further, does their teaching need to be informed by these aims? Asked directly most people, including teachers, will answer in affirmative. Experience of various teachers’ training programmes and that of observing classroom practices, however, suggest that the affirmative answers are left just there, and the actual business of teaching squarely ignores the aims. Therefore, it is a worthwhile exercise to explore the relationship between aims of education, teaching and teachers.
