Teachers contribute to changing the behaviour of students therefore teaching is considered a noble profession and currently it has become a ladies job and, at the same time, it has become an added qualification for marriage .Most higher ranking executives would like to marry an English teacher ,because of their professional life and family balance, social recognition and healthy understanding. To become a competent teacher you need current subject knowledge, teaching learning skills and proper attitude s towards the profession At the beginning of the 21st century there were many new trends emerging in the Sri Lankan education system .Due to an increased trust of parents for international schools rather than Government schools due to the emergence of English medium education.
