ABSTRACT
People are nowadays victims of materialistic attitudes and desires; as a result of globalization and modernization. It causes the erosion of fundamental values. Teachers have experienced similar changes, too. The sudden increase in the number of teacher education institutes causes a dilution in quality, infrastructure and human resources. In addition, there is a full decline in moral standards, which are essential pillars of society. Moral codes are sets of beliefs and are considered necessary for teachers. They are an essential part of teaching. These are reflected in what is taught to the students and how teachers teach and interact with the students. This paper discusses how moral codes for teachers are important.
