A Study of Mental Health of Secondary School Teachers in Relation to their Attitude Towards Life
Deepti Yadav [3] | Dr Jyoti Kumari
Abstract: The entire universe has agreed that education is a potent tool for social reconstruction that addresses economic, social, political, and technological issues. Universalization of basic education, secondary and vocational education, higher and professional education, and overall quality of education are currently the most important issues in education in the nation. Among these, the challenge of providing high-quality education is critical; simply put, the quality of education is directly proportionate to the quality of teachers. To provide a high-quality education, we require qualified teachers who are committed to teaching and have the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities. Education entails discovering a student's latent talent. It is an activity that helps students get the necessary knowledge, skills, attitudes, and perspectives (Mirunalini and Anandan, 2012). "A Teacher of the Present Times, besides being an expert helper of student learning, has to be a community leader, an adult educator, agent for local development, self-reliant and do-it-yourself persons" , Teachers' roles have become more complex as a result of increased education access, student diversity, redefinition of objectives, learning content, working methods, and evaluation, increased educational institution autonomy, increased youth participation in school decision-making, and so on. "The mental health of teachers is critical to the teaching and learning process". "If a teacher is not in good mental health and with negative attitude towards life, he/she may cause immeasurable harm to the nation through inadequate student guidance" (Google Scholar). He/she will never be able to complete his task accurately. Problems have grown in tandem with the contemporary society's quick development and intense competition in every aspect of life.
