Abstract

There are many accomplished teachers but, unlike other professions, teaching has been slow in developing its own system for providing recognition of their value. Professions are normally trusted to run their own certification systems. If convinced by its rigour, employing authorities usually encourage members of the profession to seek certification and reward its attainment through access to higher salary scales and eligibility for promotional positions.
