Role Of Teachers

China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a blessing for Pakistan and China. China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) appears as a major ‘Prosperity Tool’ which can help Pakistan to overcome its economic problems. CPEC has been researched up till now in various trade and commerce fields but its most important linkage with education was hard to find. This study was aimed to identify the role of university teachers in developing awareness and providing guidance and counseling to their students regarding career opportunities existing in the projects of CPEC. All the teachers of public and private universities of city Lahore were the population of the study. A sample of 150 teachers was selected randomly from different departments of two public and two private universities of city Lahore. A self-developed and validated instrument was used to identify the role of teachers. Reliability index (Chronbach Alpha) of the instrument was α= .82. Results showed that teachers were playing their role to make students aware of the CPEC projects. They were also providing counseling informally to their students at higher education level regarding the career opportunities existing in the CPEC projects. There was no significant difference found in the role of teachers in providing career counseling to their students at higher education level about CPEC projects with respect to their gender, residential area, type of university, designation and years of working experience. It was recommended that universities should arrange seminars, workshops, conferences, panel discussions and brainstorming sessions for the sensitization of their faculty members so that they could create awareness among their students regarding CPEC and take measures for their career counseling.

Teachers Training

Human resources are considered as the most valuable and important factor for development of every country. In the Education system which its goal is to educate the future generation and to act in providing the educated work forces, there are several effective factors which among them the role of teachers is the most important and outstanding. Productivity and efficiency of these forces depends on different factors which among them we can refer to being timely of teachers' training and using the latest technologies and teaching skills and their motivation. This project has examined the effective factors on increasing teachers' efficiency and the role of job motivation among human forces. The research results show that lack of knowledge and sufficient skills are considered as a decreasing factor and motivation as the main increasing factor of productivity in teachers. Also they show that in-service training periods haven't been successful in fulfilling this demand yet. One suggestion for coping these issues is adjusting teachers' higher education with in demand branches and fields. Furthermore, motivating teachers should be done with different material and spiritual forces, and their encouragement be in line with their struggling.
