COMMENTS ON THE PREPARATION AND QUALIFICATIONS OF ACCOUNTING TEACHERS.
Abstract
The article focuses on the preparation and qualifications of accounting teachers. When increasing the quantity of teachers is a factor of prime importance, it is unsafe to rely on the love of teaching to fill potential needs. The teaching career may well have been generated by the lack of alternative opportunities, rather than by strong interest or compelling desire. Some present teachers, a bit older, come from the period when competition from industry was not so great, when beginning salaries for teachers were even somewhat above those offered in public accounting and other businesses. A more effectively competitive beginning salary, may be regained if and as adequate funds are available, is a strong consensus that to assure increased quantity, and even reasonable quality, of beginning teachers there must be sharp increases in financial inducements. In any realistic discussion of the qualifications of accounting teachers one must relate the cost of preparation in time, money and effort to the probable financial and other returns on such costs.
