Stance

For — the government should do more, because teaching is a foundational public good and market forces alone fail to sustain it.

Aryan's chosen 3-point structure: (1) equity and social justice, (2) deontic duty, (3) economic and democratic prosperity. The full bank below keeps all five points plus a legal-necessity point to draw from.

Definitions

• Government: the state as policy-maker and funder (central/local), not just advisory.
• Do more: go beyond current measures (salary, bursaries, campaigns), involving systemic reforms and incentives.
• Encourage: attract, retain, and dignify teachers through financial, social, and professional means.
• Teaching profession: qualified teachers in schools providing compulsory education.
