The same attitude should be developed among the supporting staff. They should desire to bring in changes among youth for developing an egalitarian society. So it starts with the training of teachers in bringing about an attitudinal change towards the students by being role models and through their willingness and interest in changing the younger generation to develop a proper understanding of liberty, equality, fraternity, self-righteousness and brotherhood.

Raising the standard of teachers, supporting staff and administrators in the education field and moreover, the busy parents who are occupied with their work is a challenge before us. The question is, are we prepared or equipped and do we have an agenda with our resources to bring in changes among our younger generation of students through training in our educational institutions? It is the ideal period to bring in changes among them in behaviour, attitude and a vision for the future. One-third of the population in our country is spending long hours in educational institutions for studies. The educational institutions especially developed study models and training programmes on attitudinal and behaviour change as part of the academic education in schools. In all the developed countries, the importance of building the younger generation to change the trends of the country was felt much earlier by everyone - the people, leaders, educational institutions, policy makers and political parties. The teachers of these institutions have to be more responsible to understand the future needs of the generations and the country and should be role models to develop a generation of creativity and humanness.

The educational institutions play an important role in building the present and the future generations as responsible and worthy individuals with knowledge, a positive attitude and a spirit of coexistence, helping each other in trouble and living a happy shared life.

We could explore the reasons with our own previous generations and their failure to develop a congenial environment for the next generation to find a healthy living. In the recent days, the media has been reporting more number of suicides among school and college students, especially women violence and murders among the youth unhealthy politics and fights leading to a stalemate in development road accidents causing an increasing number of deaths due to bad roads and drunken and rash driving and an increasing number of domestic violence cases due to unemployment, alcoholism and socio-economic discrepancies among the large population.Īll these indicate the poor quality of life and living standards of our people in the available socio-economic and political situations of society. Unfortunately, the poor in many countries still suffer injustice and lack access to healthcare and educational institutions. Every nation strives to provide health and education as basic rights for all its citizens.
