By: Caribbean Association of Home Economists Inc.
There is an expectation that teachers are and will be transformers of society as they prepare young people to deal with an ever -changing world. While this role has never been greater, the status and respect once enjoyed by teachers has declined, internationally over recent years (Maclean,1999).
