Education is the transmission of civilization

Karuppusami is my schoolmate. He was one of the top rankers in the school. He chose to join his father in agriculture in preference to college education.
Karupps is a rich farmer and commands social and political clout in his village. He is erudite and has an enviable range of interests from philosophy to American politics.
Over dinner, he was lamenting on an aspect that seems to have escaped the grasp of the self styled champions of low caste interests. Karupps’s argument is that while granting OBC quota in school admissions, the Govt. should not have interfered in the appointment of teachers. “How can you impart quality education to the BCs with teachers appointed on the basis of reservation instead of merit?”, he asked in angst. This flawed logic has led to ill- equipped teachers teaching students who need augmented help to get through education. The upper caste children are aided by parents at home and/or through expensive private tuitions.
In mock irony, Karupps concluded that the Brahmins should be drafted in the teaching service.
I quote Peter F Drucker.
“Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the ‘naturals,’ the ones who somehow know how to teach.”
