Do you know who\u2019s Riya? Riya is a class 9 student who is not very sure about what career, course, and subjects to choose. She needs support for her academic success as well as career planning. Hence, she goes to her teacher for academic help and is searching for a good career counsellor for future planning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like Riya, there are many students in India and abroad who have to look for two different people to fulfil both of these aspirations. Imagine, if the teachers become career counsellors. How easy the process would be for students. They can discuss their academic and career aspirations at the same from the same person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking at the present scenario, the roles of these professionals are dissimilar. However, the purpose is the same, child development and career success. Before discussing the impact of a teacher becoming a career counsellor, let\u2019s understand their tasks, roles, and responsibilities and also the difference between teaching and counselling.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Teaching?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery. – Mark Van Doren<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Teaching is a broad term that is not limited to the classroom only. Teaching doesn\u2019t only mean student-teacher interaction. It also includes student-student interaction, student-parent interaction, and parent-teacher interaction. The process of teaching means instructing individuals about different topics, subjects, society and anything that one wishes to understand.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can summarize teaching as the engagement with individuals that helps them understand the application of knowledge, concepts and processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. \u2013 Confucius<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to Confucius, a Chinese Philosopher & Poet, you should do your job with love. If you love what you do, you will never feel that it\u2019s a job. It will become your passion and lifestyle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The process that helps individuals understand their interests, skills, likes, dislikes, and abilities, is called \u201c<\/span>Career Counselling<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u201d. If a student gets career guidance and counselling, his\/her career plan becomes more reliable and successful.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, 93% of schools don\u2019t have professional counsellors leading to the necessity of 15 lakh counsellors for over 315 million students. The process of career counselling refers to analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of a student and ends up suggesting the right career path.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Role of a Teacher<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Children are like clay and a teacher moulds them into good human beings by bringing the best out of them. Teachers are the professionals who are meant to give direction to their student’s life, help them in academics, and develop a purpose to live.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
