Global Leadership Shortage
July 3, 2008
Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day.

Now an Education Week (April 16, 2008) story, "Lack of School Leadership Seen as Global Problem," highlights the importance and enormity of the challenge. The article reports that...
"A study of 22 nations conducted by the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development found that the roles and responsibilities of school leaders have expanded dramatically in the past few decades. At the same time, the workforce of principals in many nations is nearing retirement, and a majority of countries studied reported difficulties in finding enough suitable candidates....
"The study found that countries should do more to make school leadership an attractive career. Across participating nations it found negative job images, insufficient salaries relative to responsibilities, and inadequate attention to recruitment and succession planning have discouraged people from entering the profession."

Any nation's future depends on it's young generation. And the teachers have the responsibilities to shape up the young minds. So it is very important to have the dedicated teachers with high moral values. But yet financially it is not the greatest profession..!. The dry cleaner, the car salesman, or a shop keeper may be making more money than a good school teacher! so there will always be the demand for good teachers. But, how many of us remember our other service vendors? But we all remember our good teachers.
I appreciate the world form's project ,'Global Leaders for Young Children'
