CELEBRATING WORLD TEACHER\u2019S DAY 2024
On this special day dedicated to recognizing the role and work of teachers, I express sincere gratitude and thanks to our teachers who have helped in shaping our society and preparing future generations for the role they will play in taking our society forward.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 1994, UNESCO proclaimed 5 October to be World Teachers\u2019 Day at a special intergovernmental conference in Paris that adopted the UNESCO\/ILO recommendation on the rights and responsibilities of teachers, and established international standards for teachers. The intention was to promote the status of teachers in the interest of quality education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s theme is “Valuing teacher voices: Towards a new social contract for education.” The focus is on the crucial role of teachers in shaping education’s future and the need for their input in policy decisions.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Teaching can be a stressful undertaking. That is why we must be grateful for the individual efforts of teachers and also partner with them for a holistic approach to education that includes the classroom, the home and the community.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let us continue to explore diverse ways to educate our children, and ways to support our teachers as they rise to confront daily challenges. #WorldTeachersDay #teachers #uppliftteachers #uppliftourcommunity #SMSstrong #ProtectOurYouth #PeopleFirst<\/p>\n
