CAUTION

• Should we persist in following the same educational program as given by our colonial masters, our children will never regain themselves from moral and spiritual decadence.

THE WAY FORWARD

• Coupled with the challenges of today, we need an educational system which can produce, what the late Sayyid Abul ala Mawdudi called, "Muslim philosopher, Muslim scientist, Muslim economist, Muslim jurist, Muslim statesman who will become the torch-bearers of Islamic values and play an effective role in the present world.

WHAT MY ROLE AS A TEACHER AND AS A VICEGERENT

• Every Muslim , in the Islamic world-view is considered a vicegerent (khalifah) of Allah. In her/his capacity as a vicegerent, a Muslims is perceived as a trustee of the earth.

• Therefore, as vicegerents, it is our primary duty to promote the deen. An effective teacher is in best position to influence minds towards Allah as well as towards attainment of useful knowledge.

• The Significance of a Muslim teacher can be realized from the fact that the Holy Prophet was himself a teacher who taught mankind about the right and wrong, and the religion that defined the Existence and oneness of God..

ROLES CONTD

A Muslim teacher is a highly responsible and valued person in Islam. It is his duty to make reforms in the students and guide them from every aspect to lead a respectable, healthy, happy, successful and meaningful life.

Students acquire good traits, virtuous behavior, sound trends and equanimity from heir teachers

ROLES CONTD

No civilization can rise from mere ideas and concepts but a firm shape in the practical behavior is required by each person in the civilization that acts as a vital element in the development of the nation as civilized people. This is where teachers play their role to educate people about what they do not know

The world would only become a better place when people are aware of the virtuous and right teachings of Islam. Therefore, pupils are held as trust by the teachers and they are accountable to Allah.

ACCOUNTABILITY ISLAMIC VIEW

• Hameed (2000) defines Islamic accountability as the duty of an entity to use (and prevent the misuse) of the resources entrusted it in an effective, efficient and economical manner, within the boundaries of the moral and legal framework of the society and to provide an account of its actions to stakeholders who are not only the persons who provide financial resources but to groups within society and to society at large.

ACCOUNTABILITY CONTD

• This Islamic accountability is built on the belief that Muslims have dual accountabilities. Firstly, they have primary accountability arising from the concept of khilafah, which holds that absolute ownership all resources, physical and intellectual, belongs to Allah and that man is just a trustee (khalifah) to these resources. In this regards man is accountable to Allah in dealing with others creatures of Allah, including, animals and environment. Therefore, accountability in Islam is stakeholders focus

ACCOUNTABILITY CONTD

• Secondary accountability emanates from the contract between the owners of organizations and the paid staff of the organizations. In respect of a school this contract is embedded in the letter of employment.

• .

AS AN ISLAMIC TEACHER WHO ARE YOUR STAKEHOLDERS

• When the phrase was first defined in an internal memo at the Stanford Research Institute in 1963 it was described stakeholders as, "those groups without whose support the organizations would cease to exist".

• Thereafter, the term, has been defined in various ways. For example, it is taken to mean someone who has an interest in a deliverable or outcome.

• In another way, stakeholder may refer to a person, group, organization, member or system who affects or can be affected by an organization's actions.

LINK BETWEEN STAKEHOLDERS AND ACCOUNTABILITY

• The success of modern organization depends on sustainability which can be achieved by considering the needs of stakeholders. (Alam, 2006).

• To serve their needs , identifying them is imperative.

• The identification of various stakeholders, will help the organisation to respond to the needs of various stakeholders
