Tuesday is World Teacher’s Day. The day
commemorates the rights and responsibilities of teachers, and standards for
their initial preparation and further education, recruitment, employment, and
teaching and learning conditions.
This year the focus will be on the support
teachers need to fully contribute to the recovery process under the theme “Teachers at the heart of education
recovery”.
The Western Cape’s Education MEC, Debbie
Schafer says the teaching profession needs to be acknowledged for the important
role it plays in the development and growth of any society.
‘’The teaching profession needs to be
acknowledged for the important role it plays in the development and growth of
any society. Teachers truly are the backbone of society and should continuously
be acknowledged for their contribution towards all the professions and
occupations they have in society today.’’
Throughout the month of October, the Western Cape’s
Education Department (WCED) will be acknowledging all educators for making an
ever-lasting impact on the lives of learners, both past and present.
The WCED has launched a campaign with the
hashtag #ThankATeacher, to encourage the public to thank a specific teacher
that had an impact on their lives
