The social structures established over a long period has now changed and the information has quantified many times in comparison to older period and it is still increasing very fast. Previously attained knowledge is becoming outdated in few years and technologies are constantly upgraded. So in this situation, it seems difficult that students will have life-long learning; it is actually a way to survive. You can survive with the existing knowledge but you can not compete with the world if you have outdated knowledge. You need to continuously upgrade it, refresh it and update it. When it comes to learning, there is teaching as well. Traditionally teachers stand on the top of social hierarchy because they process knowledge and skills to deliver knowledge. However, the change of our world has also given away teachers’ privilege of processing knowledge. In this age of smart phone and social media, everyone can get knowledge because knowledge has become very easily accessible. Today the role of a teacher is no longer as same as it was decades ago. At school teachers are facing challenges with regard to academics, profession and ethics.
