“Computers versus Teachers”

As computers are being used more and more in education, there will be soon no role of teachers in the class room. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I don’t agree that because computers are being used more and more in education computers can replace teachers in class room and education. In this essay I shall highlight the role of a teacher in education.

A teacher is the one who educates the students. He teaches new things to the student which they have never known before. Whereas a computer gives information the said information may or may not be perceived correctly by students. Needless to say wrong perception may be disastrous and detrimental.

Teachers’ role is not limited to merely teaching syllabus but teachers are the main character builders and personality builders of the students. Character and Personality are paramount importance to any individual. In absence of a well developed Personality and sound character the most highly educated person miserably fails in the life. Furthermore with the help of computers students can revise the learned lessons and subjects. Also more information can be obtained on a particular subject matter. Studies on computers are hassle free and relatively less time consuming.

When a student does not perform up to the marks, teachers are questioned and they are answerable. When somebody is answerable quality of education is bound to be superior. In case a student studies with his or her computer and fails to perform up to the marks, computer is not anyway answerable. Student is the master of his own. Even teachers have teachers it is the strongest evidence of importance of teachers in education. Without teachers education system can not function.

In conclusion computers can no way replace teachers.
