A teacher’s impact cannot be measured only by what is taught in the classroom each day, but by what is left in students’ minds and hearts throughout their lives. The influence of a teacher is not evaluated by what he or she teaches in a single day, but by what they leave in the hearts of their students throughout their lives. These highlight the great responsibility carried by teachers and the lasting impact they have on society.
Teachers worked in exceptional circumstances in the country recently. They were among those who shouldered responsibility at the forefront.
They remained at their posts during a period marked by uncertainty, providing students with reassurance and a sense of security while ensuring that the educational process did not stop for a single day.
They also played a key role in preparing students and training them on evacuation and safety procedures when schools returned to normal operations.
The resilience was not a product of the moment, but the result of planning, preparedness and investment in people and national capabilities, as emphasised by the H H the Amir in his recent address to the United Nations General Assembly.
Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs H E Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani yesterday honoured 80 teachers from government schools at a ceremony marking World Teachers’ Day.
They were recognised for their dedication and outstanding efforts in the educational field, their contributions to advancing the learning process, developing students’ capabilities and skills, and instilling values and principles that help shape their personalities and prepare them for the future.
The Ministry of Education and Higher Education is attracting highly qualified professionals to teaching, preparing them effectively and creating an environment that encourages them to remain in the profession.
