... I WILL PROFESSOR (*) In 2000 I published a small book entitled "Indians or escutcheons. Reflections on education from Ayacucho, it has an article entitled "Although it'll be a teacher." The public here as a reflection to the reader. Now in 2007, the national situation requires us to prioritize education as a means to develop the capabilities of the Peruvian man, so to be able to compete internationally. With the FTA approved need more than ever on education, globalization need the knowledge and science. With the rampant corruption we need people with ethics and moral for Peru to slide easily into the development and progress.
What is your name, student? ....
Juan ... I replied in a voice barely audible. 
you like to study ..... Yes .. said timidly.
How old are you? ... I turned to ask.
18 years, Professor! ... responded.
What year are you ?.... Fifth ...
Have you thought about what career you're going to continue finishing high school? ...
sir ..... yet I said .... Still? ... I insisted.
Yes sir .... something will study .... not ... Professor auque'll be ... I replied.
This brief exchange was made with a student's fifth year of secondary education in the Colegio San Esteban apong (Province Fajardo, Ayacucho Region), on Tuesday 02 May 2000, then held the First Meeting apong Children of Integration and Development in the XXI century, and after the Feast of Yaku Traditional Pusaq.
Mr. Luis Alca, a member of my delegation, Mr. Guillermo Huyhua Flores, and Mr. Herman Clark, President of the Rural Community, we went very early to the high school where we were greeted kindly by the Acting Director (* *), in his office talked about school needs and other issues. After a good conversation, visited classrooms and talked with students. This is where I describe dialogue started up, it caught my attention and I raised some reflections.
had in the classroom been meeting all College students, from first to fifth grade. Among all did not exceed 25 students. I talked with them ... were shy and tender to answer.
Among all students in fourth and fifth only one was certain to pursue a technical career, most did not know, including me said that anything would ... auque be a teacher.
This response shocked me and I wondered ... Is that harassment of students do not have big goals apong and aspirations, will it be so much economic poverty that appears early in life the spirit of resignation and conformity? ... But not only that, worryingly, they have a very poor image of the teaching profession, so poor that only chosen for disposal or as a last resort ... Although it is ... I will be teacher!
In the minds of children, education is almost in last place among the few job options offered by your world: agriculture, trade, technical careers, work in any thing, and so on.
And parents ... think the same. One of the most important findings on the educational problems in apong made in the Education Workshop held at the First Meeting is: parents show no interest in the education of their children. What results in failure to attend the parent meetings in the student's moral abandonment, which often are in danger of sexual harassment or crime ... Although it is ... I'll be a teacher.
And the teachers ... often make the thought negative agree on the minds of the community, children and adolescents. The teacher's behavior will always be observed by the whole community, so whatever your conduct will have a counterpart in the young. Just a teacher showing bad examples, tarnish the image of all teachers.
If a teacher sexually harasses his students, sharing alcohol with their students, is presented in the classroom intoxicated, among other misconduct ... Will it be respected by your students? ... Obviously not, he will not be respected in the profession and education considered as something that is not important in human life ... So the saying 'll even teacher! (And besides, they say: " If I can not keep me otherwise, I'll even teacher, for earning a fixed salary every month ).
Why, for the student, the teacher to work or not work, get drunk or not, or not sexually harass female students, often with the acquiescence of unconcerned parents, and, the authorities do not supervise ... nevertheless ... always earn a salary and there is the only attraction of the race for students who are not aware the tremendous importance of education in society.
The boy who sees all this, easily come to the conclusion that anyone can be a teacher, who earns steady income without doing much, not studying, not working too much without teaching, without moral example of the community should be. And to be a teacher, not necessarily have to enter a university, starting often do not need a degree or a teaching degree can get it at any educational institution not too demanding, what the market offers.
And we wonder ... Is it not true that a man without education, without skills, without skills or abilities will not be able to contribute their personal development, family and community?
Without educated men, the fields have a poor and bad production. The cattle will not improve. Texts of the Draft can not be developed for their own development.
Is it not perhaps that uneducated man will spend life in fights for no reason together rather than contributing to the development of the community?
And, fairly and accurately, what our people are polite and respectful men, working men with impeccable moral behavior, creative people and innovative ... but who will write the history books of their peoples, flora and fauna, natural resources, who described the geography of the village, who philosophers, who systematized through books, videos and photos customs, dances, parties of our peoples. Who will guide the paths of development to people, who take care of health, who take care of the moral, mind the children, youth and adults. Who are not science, knowledge and moral will that pose alternative solutions to problems that arise. But men who are educated, cultivating his body and intellect who need people and nation.
History teaches us that the State has implemented rarely works in the villages if their children have made professional development projects and have been tracking the records. Although it still requires fighting men, today we need education and science for the success of any management, so that each person has the capacity to create, develop and innovate. Add to education, fighting and working together and have the key to success and development.
Who shall develop and implement development plans if they are not educated men? Those who have not only knowledge but also moral to do it. It is time to prioritize education in our communities, our nations, that have trained and capable officials, no to line their pockets with little or nothing for the development of their peoples, but able to lead to development.
There can be no resignation and indifference ... is time that any citizen, and every professional, be aware that at the heart of the development plans of the peoples and the province of Víctor Fajardo should be the man, his education and health, on that basis we will conquer everything.
dignify Let's start with education and teacher at the same time, it is time itself teacher should dignify himself. It's time to bring dignity and care for children and turn to the districts, rural communities into true learning communities, within which the practice of labor in agriculture, livestock, industry, information technology, folklore, etc. . a real educational process to make better men and better Peruvians who will fly to Peru for the great avenues of development, progress and prosperity.
So, no longer hear the resignation: "I'll even teacher", but a proud "I'll be a teacher, whatever my profession." Everything depends on us ...
