The Teachers

Abstract

There were at the beginning of this year some 328 000 qualified teachers in primary and secondary schools — responsible for the education of nearly 7.8 million children. Trained either in one of the 184 colleges of education, or through post‐graduate university courses, they represent the largest intellectual labour force in the country. Yet few non‐teachers envy them their jobs, and a majority holds them in contempt.
