Teachers in government schools often face pressure to follow official protocols, meet administrative expectations, or participate in showcase activities. But at the heart of education lies a deeper calling — to serve with honesty, compassion, and dedication, regardless of recognition.
So, are we working for authorities, or are we working for God?
The answer lies in intent. When a teacher teaches with sincerity, fairness, and love for their students — even in the absence of rewards or monitoring — that is a form of worship. It means you are working for God, not just for the system.
However, this does not mean ignoring responsibilities or disobeying systems. It means:
Following rules with integrity, not just for show.
Teaching with heart, not just for reports.
Giving justice to each student, not just to impress authorities.
In government schools — where the work is often thankless — teachers who stay honest and committed are truly God’s servants in the field of knowledge. They are planting seeds whose harvest only God can reward, even if the world forgets.
