How do teachers view their responsibilities in terms of students' getting a good
education, learning about different jobs and careers, and their safety, health and hap-
piness? Teachers are most likely to view students' learning about different jobs and
careers as the teacher's responsibility (Exhibit 11.6). Three-quarters of secondary
school teachers (72%) think that a student's teachers are most responsible for this
aspect of students' lives. Four in ten (39%) think that teachers are most responsible
for a student's safety, and three in ten (31%) think that teachers are most responsible
for a student's getting a good education. Few teachers feel most responsible for a stu-
dent's health (2%) or happiness (2%).
