1. The family and government want to play a part in setting up and controlling formal and many informal means of education. In the more-developed societies teachers are employed to do the work of education.
2. The school teacher must teach not the basic mental skills but also facts and attitudes favourable for the nation. The legislature generally requires that certain subjects be taught so as to “improve” the citizenship or the morality or the health of the students. Matters of curriculum are determined with little or no participation of the individual teacher.
3. The university teacher has substantial autonomy in the choice of textbooks of content and of methods of teaching. The governing board of the university does not tell teacher what to teach. In general the only limits on the university teacher are set by the nature of the teaching assignment. If he is one of a number of teachers who teach a popular course, which is taken by several hundred students and offered by several different instructors, he may have to use the same textbook as those used by other instructors, and he may have to prepare his student for common examinations. On the other hand, in those courses that he alone gives, he has wide freedom to choose the content and methods of instruction.
4. In terms of the professional responsibility of teachers for what they teach, there is a major distinction between the university and elementary – secondary school systems. This is the essence of academic freedom in higher education. The school board has the power to determine what is taught. With the growth of teachers’ unions and organizations, however, it appears that collective action by teachers is tending to increase the effective autonomy of the classroom teacher. Administrative and legislative prescriptions for the school curriculum are generally resisted in principle by the teaching profession; the profession presumes itself better able to decide what to teach and how to teach it.
