ISLAMABAD (PEN) : World Teachers’ Day is being celebrated today (Saturday) around the globe, focusing on the theme “Valuing Teacher Voices: Towards a New Social Contract for Education.”
This year’s observance highlights the crucial role teachers play in shaping the future of education and underscores the pressing need to include their insights in educational policies and decision-making processes. Celebrated annually on October 5, this day honors and recognizes the invaluable contributions teachers make to society.
As the guiding figures in a child’s development, teachers are often seen as spiritual mentors, nurturing young minds and inspiring them to think critically. While parents lay the foundation for their children’s upbringing, teachers are instrumental in helping students harness their knowledge and apply it meaningfully, ultimately shaping them into responsible and engaged citizens.
Various events are taking place to celebrate this special day, reflecting our collective appreciation for the dedication and passion teachers bring to their work. Today, let’s recognize their commitment and strive to elevate their voices in the conversations that matter most in education.
