Teachers reveal the direction and the goal to their students. The skill and the strength, the status and stature of humankind are shaped and furthered in proportion to the quality and character of its teachers. Teachers must dedicate their learning and wisdom to the great task of uplifting pupils to higher levels of knowledge and action. The virtues which they help to inculcate in their pupils are essential for the uplift of the society. Character is the hallmark of every person. When virtues are deep-rooted in the heart, everyone in the society can shine with full glory.

The end of education is character. - Baba
