Dear Frangis,
"How can teaching make world a better place to live?" -- You asked.
As I see it, teaching does not necessarly makes a better place to live. There are teaching and teaching. If teaching is oriented for students to become interested in the pursuit of the the true, the good, and the beautiful, then teaching can make our world a better place to live. This is not the case when teaching is oriented to the pursuit of the false, the bad and the ugly. I think that this form of teaching is no teaching at all.
Jean Piaget once remarked that only education can save societies and even individuals from possible collapse, be it violent and gradual. Of coruse, education is costly, but far less costly than its altermative, ignorance.
It should be noted that for Piaget, education should aim at generating innovators and creators, not conformist people. So, he thought of teachers more as mentors and organizers of learning experiences and situations, such that the student comes to understand, reinvent, and reconstruct everything s/he learns, than as simple transmitters of ready made and established truths imposed on students from outside.

Actually generalised word Teaching has many wings . How it will make the world
better place depends on specific teachers in the for Humanities , Science , Social science , Holistic etc . But combining all these subjects Biodiversity is common
for better living .
Based on the culture and level of lecturers-learners interaction.
Learning and Teaching is the core for the future generation and for the nation to grow therefore it needs skilled personnel and good funding/ huge allocation inorder to invest in it.

In this information technology era, teaching cease to be knowledge sharing centred. As knowledge are readily available through the technology, the emphasis of teaching has evolved into experience sharing as a mean to help students to develop their life skills such as knowledge sourcing, life long learning, applying theoretical model in thinking, and more important to motivate students to source for information to support their thinking. What are most important, teaching must provide the students with the skill to ensure achievement of meaningful learning. This will prevent partial and / or distorted learning from the acquired information.(Gilbert, Osborne, Fensham 1982).
With the unlimited availability of knowledge where its presence not limited by age & grade, supported by their thinking skills acquired through schooling, the world will be full of wiser people that are also more proactive, thus a much better place to live in.
How can teaching make world a better place to live?
Perhaps following can be considered:
I think that teaching and leaning are two faces of the same coin, education. By teaching, teachers also learn, and by learning students also teach. I learnt several things because of my students.
Of course, when teaching, teachers should pay attention to what they teach and the way they teach. As I see it, teachers should arise students' interest in pursuing the true, the good and the beautiful, and should teach as authoritative, not authoritarian or permissive teachers.
Authoritative teachers are demading in intellectual terms, but warm in their social interaction with their students. Authoritarian theachers are demading in intellectual terms, but cold in their social interaction with their students. And permisse teachers are guided, say, by the slogan "laissez faire, laisser passer, laisser aller" (Let it go).
There is mounting evidence that shows that in contrast to authoritarian or permissive teaching, authoritative theaching fosters the student's cognitive, social, moral, interpersonal, and emotional development.

Without the process of teaching-learning, the world will be a huge jungle which abounds with human beings who behave like animals. Teaching is supposed to change the "crude" young individuals into better constructive ones contributing progress on various fronts (personal, societal, and global).
Teaching ought to cause a positive change into the direction of a better world for human living but this cannot be done when teachers are underpaid, disrespected, discouraged, and even fought against within an academic setting.
An institution (in which there is spying, witch hunt, bullying, nepotism, and discrimination) will demolish "good" teaching and will serve only the best interests of the foes.
The process of teaching and learning is supposed to lead the individual from egocentric desires and needs to social interests and needs. In the last analysis, the teaching/learnind process is supposed to make citizens of the world of every individual.
Kind regards,
Orlando

Teachers are living models, who show how to work with each other in a kinde way.
In schools teachers, pupils, parents, ... must act together in a nice way.
Seen in this way pupils will learn soft skills / life skills, that are important for everyday life.

learning without teaching - teaching without learning are interesting side issues.
1. Be good 2. Do good 3. Speak of these things naturally.
I teach at a faith-based institution, and our sister institution did a study of what was most effective in helping other students in their faith.
Lecturing on religeous subjects didn't give measurable results.
Being kind, helpful, and developing relationships with students had a strong correlation with building faith. That is, being what we wanted them to be, and not hiding it, nor parading it around, is what was effective.

Often the teacher presents a doctrine as secured knowledge, as it were, without adding that we have to question the so-called "secure knowledge", with good arguments.
"Proper teaching is recognized with ease. You can know it without fail because it awakens within you that sensation which tells you this is something you have always known.”
Frank Herber
"When you wish to instruct, be brief; that men's [children's] minds take in quickly what you say, learn its lesson, and retain it faithfully. Every word that is unnecessary only pours over the side of a brimming mind.”
Cicero

Does it really? Teaching has been going on for centuries but has the world become a better place. If better, in what sense should be defined.
What really is education? It is not the paper qualifications we collect. Perhaps it is only the acquiring the knowledge on how to acquire knowledge. But how we use the knowledge may determine if the world becomes a better place. There is a need to define better.

If I think a little longer about this question, I come to the conclusion that it is much more important than the blah-blah answers given to it so far - including my own answers. There are people in our society (and worldwide) to whom several important conditions of high academic professionalism apply and who are role models in the true sense of the word, albeit mostly unattainable. There are highly qualified scientists in the field they are researching. But there are only a few who can explain to the rest of the world what they have researched in a few words, well, ready for printing. I think such outstanding scientists take the world a step further than those who are also outstanding scientists, but who tend to disqualify the rest. They judge the rest of the world from the height of their own point of view rather condescendingly. Nevertheless, they can be good scientists.
Conclusion: Explaining the world is something other than understanding the world - but advancing the world through one's own example or through one's own research or through good teaching is something completely different again.
teaching not only teaching it should be teaching-learning process, giving all facilities to teacher and student, guidance at any time , good perks to teacher and very neat environment which should create positive energy
Teaching students to respect cultural diversity and personal variations and love humanity unconditionally!
Education makes us better citizens by teaching us how to conduct ourselves through life by following rules and regulations and giving us a sense of conscience. It make us more confident to go out there and achieve things. Many governments across the world have recognized the importance of education as a tool to enhance progress and make the world a better place. Let us see how it achieves that:
1. Education spreads awareness.
2. It helps us stand up against wrong and for the right.
3. It helps progress.
4. It gives us a healthier lifestyle.
5. Helps us to be more productive.
6. It helps us connect across borders.
7. It gives empowerment.
Education makes us citizens of the world. It is costly, but it is far less costly than its alternative, ignorance.
