Mr. Speaker, on this, the eve of World Teachers' Day, allow me to pay tribute to those who are vested with a great responsibility in the future of our youth, who play a critical role in the betterment of our communities.
The theme chosen this year, “Teachers create dialogue everyday”, shows how big a challenge teachers have to meet everyday not only in sharing knowledge, but also in instilling positive values that will prepare our youth to become the citizens of tomorrow.
Given the economic, social and cultural situation in the world today, teachers face a double challenge: that of being mindful of these upheavals and also being visionary in educating students.
I invite parents and students alike to thank our teachers for their commitment to education and for being a bridge to the future, day after day.
