• Moral Person
Campbell,(2013) presented notion of teacher as a moral person. Teacher
conveys his/her thoughts, ideas, values to next generation deliberately or in
deliberately. The all positive and negative aspect of teacher personality is being
part of student’s personality. So, it is necessary for the teacher that he/she
possesses good ethical attributes. Now days, it is a big ethical issue towards
teachers responsibility
CONTD..
• Moral Educator
• Teachers does not always been a good moral character. While this is the
process exchanging these virtues to their students. Teacher should consider
consciously that students are gaining these ethics directly or indirectly.
• Student Teacher Relationship
• Teacher deals with students in their daily life, so these relation must be
positive one. in these days student teacher relationship is not based on
attitudes, intentions and good moral values.
CONTD…

Awareness of what is right and wrong? This should be part of teacher’s character that he knows what the
criteria of being right and wrong.

• Right to Education
Due to the importance of education in Islam, The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said:
“Getting knowledge is obligatory to every Muslim man and woman”. It is the moral
duty of government and concerned authorities to provide opportunities for students.
• Should Teacher Students be Friends?
Schooling is the act of interacting people with each other towards the mutual
goal. Here the related persons are student and teacher. Nowadays, the renowned
philosophy of education leads towards the friendship relationships of student
teacher. But, the addressing question here is that should teacher exceed the limits or
should provide some measures to maintain positive relations.
CONTD..
• To What Extent Help is Required?
This issue is more considerable that is more required in
relationship of principals, teachers and students.
• Communication
Communication is the heart of any educational process whether it
is carried in classroom or beyond the classroom. Being polite and humble
can uplift the ethical environment of schools.
• Conflict Management
Conflicts can be easily resolved, by adopting ethical frameworks.
CONTD…
• Language of Learning
• Biesta (2006) found concept of the language of learning. In this regard, he has identified four contributing
trends which influence on ethic in educational system:
1) new theories of learning which shifted the attention to students and their activities rather than teachers and
teaching, where learning became more central and teaching conceptualized in terms of facilitating learning;
2) Postmodern doubt framed education as a modern project in need of questioning;
3) the growing market for non-formal adult learning as a mainly individualistic activity has made use of the word
learning
4) with the destruction of the welfare state the relationship between governments and citizen has been in many
cases, re-conceptualized into an economical relationship between the provider and the consumer of public services.
All of these trends contribute to rise of the language of learning. Above mentioned trends in education narrows
teachers’ possibilities for professional influence on the educational system
CONTD…
• Teacher Autonomy
The concept of teacher refers to the professional independence
of teachers in schools, especially the degree to which they can make
autonomous decisions about what they teach to students and how they
teach it. Due to the market influence in education it decreases the
independence of teachers (Hargreaves, 2000).
3. ETHICAL ISSUES PERTAINING TO
SCHOOLING
• Relational Professionalism
Relational work skill is the term used to describe the ways in which professionals
interact with each other. Relational skills go beyond knowledge of business models and
professional experience to include personal traits. As with professional skills, relational
skills differ from person to person. Teacher interact with students what they practice in
relational manners are: knowledge of students, pedagogical knowledge, principles of
classroom management. Teacher should adopt relational qualities (engagement,
authenticity, understanding) to enhance positive environment in schools. This relational
professionalism impacts on overall school ethical environment (Frelin, 2013)
CONTD..
• Social Diversity
There are different groups in a school. They have cultural, religious and
economic differences. Ethically to cope up all these diverse people is the
challenging tasks.
• Discipline
Due to the lack of ethical considerations in all educational setups, the
discipline problems are increasing day by day. Practice of ethics and
morality is lead towards the fulfillment of educational goals.
