“We also invite teacher unions, private sector employers, school principals, Parent-Teacher Associations, school management committees, education officials and teacher trainers to share their wisdom and experiences in promoting the emergence of a vibrant teaching force.”
Hon. Mojisola Alli-Macaulay said that though the contributions of teachers cannot be overemphasized in a society, setting aside a special day helps the society focus more on their plights.
“Teaching is undoubtedly one of the noblest professions on earth. Teachers are people worthy of celebrating for what they bring into our lives: knowledge, discipline, values and skills. It is these special people that we will be honouring today on World Teachers’ Day (WTD). Although we should bear in mind their contribution to make us what we are today, having a special day helps the society to focus on what more should be done to recognize and reward teachers,” she said.
“Above all, we celebrate the work of dedicated teachers around the world who continue to strive every day to ensure that inclusive and equitable quality education and the promotion of lifelong learning opportunities for all become a reality in every corner of the globe.”
