Thanks Professor Autee and Kuldip for sharing their views.
In my earlier e-mail I tried to differentiate occupation, profession and missionary.
The data given by Prof. Auree in a Table can help promote professionalism in teaching but in a limited way On the other hand the faculty job description given by AICTE is more specific (see attachment) and when it is combined with API (PBAS); I believe teaching profession is aptly specified.

It is rather a crude joke but in America, there is a saying which goes like this "the one who cannot find anything else to do, teach". The early history of USA shows that in the beginning housewives were the only ones interested in teaching. At that time, all they needed was some education; no university degrees or licenses to teach.
Use of the word "professional" is closely tied to the evolution of organized industries. Higher education also started using the word "professional" as a part of their mission, vision, and marketing pitch. But today, the degrees from any universities does not necessarily make us "professionals." Practice or experience is the key to becoming a good professional. And it alls shows in the performance. In our daily life we come across a good a barber and bad barbers. In the world we live today, even a barber has to be a professional? Is it all about BIG money?

Subject: Re: [MTC Global] Washington Post: Are teachers professionals?My take is:
Teaching, that persuades or converts others, falls in the category of missionary work.Hence, I term teaching as an occupation with a life mission. There is no denying of the fact that to become successful in any occupation, perfection, efficiency self-transformation is a must. Mission calls for sacrifice and/or self-less service; and it is not for only earning one's living or for gain.
- Occupation: A person's usual or principal work or business especially as a means of earning living, a vocation or calling.
- Professional: One who follows an occupation as a means of livelihood or for gain.
- Missionary: A person strongly in favor of a program, a set of principles, etc., who attempts to persuade or converts others.

Subject: [MTC Global] Washington Post: Are teachers professionals?
It seems like a simple question with an obvious answer, but for years teachers have been treated by policymakers as anything but professionals. Their judgments about how to educate and evaluate children are not taken into account, and they are evaluated by measures that statisticians say aren't valid assessment tools (such as when teachers are evaluated by the standardized test scores of students they don't have and subjects they don't teach). Teaching is often deemed "a calling," which is a way of saying that teachers are born and that teaching doesn't really require rigorous training beyond knowing the subject being taught.--
