CHANGING SOCIO POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT We cannot completely isolate our schools from the changing social, political and economic reforms that are happening throughout the world. It has been suggested without much skepticism by many that such factors alone may be largely responsible for shaking the natural dynamism of creating Leaders. The various societal and political and economic influences that posing serious challenges and threats to the education system today are as follows:- A. Materialistic and Consumer Culture In the fast paced world of booming economy and skyrocketing markets the profession of teachers has also felt the effects of such splurge of materialism and consumerism. For the Government Schools, the consequences are not so favourable and encouraging because the lucrative and profitable options in the International schools tend to prevent the potential bright young teachers who otherwise would have taken a call to join Schools in government sector. Many who are not seeing a career progression may find themselves having no professional growth in turn gets disappointed with their current assignment and they begin to assume that grass greener on the other side. In private sector employees focus on improving the life style instead of getting into tough working conditions which has become a part of life for some working in the government, only to add on to the problem comes the things like postings and separation from family and frequent detainment for temporary duty like Election Duty or duty to do a survey or duty on polio day. B. Media Revolution In the last few years the schools have seen an exorbitant change with the role and involvement of Media in it. The awareness of the public has also increased tremendously in last few years. Our Schools were not prepared for the Media Revolution. They were taken by surprise with the increase in awareness. The increasing awareness levels has exposed the activities concerning that involves large sums of money. Educational Reforms like the Right to Education Act (RTE), Right to Information (RTI) Act and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) have generated a curiosity leading to the rise in interest of public as these acts were made for the benefit for the needy. All this exposure to media has caused the schools to appear less glamorous and more under scanner. The respect surrounding the profession of Teachers is also looked upon with a suspicion and it has been watered down by the intrusive Strategy to Increase the Leadership Quality in Government Schools Based on Need of the Hour Nafees Fatima, T.K.
