Abstract
Education is a crucial tool for the development of individuals with quality. Teachers play a particularly significant role in this development, and their independence is considered a key to success in quality teaching. The independence of teachers implies freedom in education, learning, and teaching. Teachers control the educational process and have a vital role in the societal change process. Teachers should possess knowledge, skills, and the freedom to create new things, preparing methods of communication and activities suitable for the needs and abilities of the community. If teachers exhibit these qualities, they can effectively transmit them to the learners and play a crucial role in building a better nation. The need and importance of teacher independence, both in terms of academic freedom and professional independence, are matters that society and relevant organizations must recognize and actively contribute to developing and solving problems. Presenting the independence of teachers is crucial in promoting success in teaching significantly. Teacher independence provides opportunities for presenting ideas and teaching methods suitable for students, pushing for a diverse learning environment, and stimulating creative thinking. Independence helps foster the development of students' independent learning skills, creating a space for them to develop problem-solving and analytical thinking skills appropriately. Teaching independence is the most crucial aspect of creating students who are capable of learning and adapting rapidly in the continuously changing world. It also opens opportunities for teachers to pursue further education based on their knowledge, abilities, and potential, enabling them to make more informed decisions.
