Nothing is more important than securing a sufficient supply of high quality recruits to the teaching profession providing them ith the best possible preparation and creating satisfactory conditions of work in which they are f u l l y effective. It is nece~sary that teachers a~e properly motivated. One main reason for lack of motivation on the part of te- chers is said to be the teacher's own evaluation of his •station in n i f e ' , i . e . his social and professional status. The chief aim of the writer is to highlight the importance of this and thereby draw attention to the problem of improving teacher status. Chapter I discusses the relevance of this problem to the researcher in Sri Lank a. The status of teachers in ancient Sri Lanka is surveyed by a review of l i t rature in Chapter I I .
