October 5 is World Teachers’ Day, a day that provides the occasion to celebrate the teaching profession worldwide, take stock of achievements, and draw attention to the voices of teachers, who are at the heart of efforts to attain the global education target of leaving no one behind. This year’s theme is “Teachers: Leading in crisis, reimagining the future”.
Teachers as Essential Members of the Society
Teachers are arguably one of the most important members of our society. They help mold the minds of our children, set them up for success as citizens of our world, challenge them daily, and inspire in them a drive to do well and succeed in life.
Parents trust teachers to look after their little ones and help them grow to become intelligent, caring human beings. It’s a job that requires lots of patience, unquenchable thirst for learning, and a lifetime of dedication.
Teachers as Heroes during the Pandemic
A teacher’s job is not easy under typical circumstances, and the coronavirus situation has even made it more difficult. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly added to the challenges faced by already over-extended education systems throughout the world. Teaching during the pandemic is so far from typical. It’s nothing school systems have ever done before. This isn’t what they signed up for, and yet they’re doing it anyway. They are putting together distance learning plans. They’re adapting their teaching in the blink of an eye.
Yes, teachers are superheroes!
Teachers as World-changers
It is no exaggeration to say that the world is at a crossroads, but teachers role have not changed. Teachers of all walks of life and subjects can change lives for the better. Teachers shape opinions and help form ideas about society, life, and personal goals. They can also expand students’ limits and push their creativity.
In addition, they can act as a support system that is lacking elsewhere in students’ lives. They are a role model and hold students accountable for their successes and failures.
Teaching is a tough job, but it is one where you can make the most impact in another person’s life. The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow, and teachers are that critical point that makes a child ready for their future.
