Happy Teacher's Day

Teachers facilitate student learning and thinking skills. Although many people see teaching as a "half-a-day" job, most teachers work well outside the school day including weekends. Long hour is not uncommon with no additional financial compensation. In addition, many teachers purchase items for their students and classroom out of their own wages!!


In most cultures, teaching is referred to as a profession. Teachers are considered professionals on par with physicians, lawyers, and CPA's because they are often required to obtain specialized education and professional licensure.


UNESCO
inaugurated World Teachers’ Day on 5 October 1994 to celebrate and commemorate the signing of the Recommendation Concerning the Status of Teachers on 5 October 1966. World Teachers’ Day also highlighted the Recommendation Concerning the Status of Higher Education Teaching Personnel adopted in 1997. In Brunei, Teacher's Day, is celebrated on September 23.

I dedicate this entry to all teachers, lecturers, tutors, educators, trainers and instructors. Kudos to all teachers for your service to the country. Happy Teacher's Day.
