The title “Teacher” to me conveys the highest responsibility of adults towards children. Apart from my parents, my teachers have done the most to shape my life. From kindergarten through college, their struggle – and believe me it was a struggle (smiles) – to help me grow and learn was not in vain. And I greatly appreciate their efforts. Teachers are an extremely important facet of any society for a number of reasons and their role in society is both significant and valuable. Teachers are the people who educate the youths of a society who in turn become the leaders of the next generation. Teachers teach children and impact knowledge upon them in their most impressionable years. What children learn from their teachers at a young age will most likely stay with them for the rest of their lives. There is no more critical need in our society today than preparing teachers who know their subject matter well and who understand the social and emotional needs of students. After decades of classifying or transporting students, changing the textbooks and the tests, we now understand that the most active ingredients in improving schools are the knowledge and skills of our teachers. Education is now arriving at the same conclusion as other fields such as business, medicine, media, and the military: investing in professional development should be the number one priority. I personally believe our teachers should be celebrated every day so on this special day, the ConnectNigeria team is saying “Happy World Teachers’ Day” to all the awesome teachers all over the world; you are greatly loved and appreciated.
