Educator’s Day, 2017

2/05/2017

Teachers are considered as the most decisive catalyst in shaping our future citizen. Many a time people say, teachers are the ones who made doctors, engineers and many more important office goers. As a teacher myself, I know how baffling it is to be a teacher and the most to work with students of different abilities. We all know that, a life is neither a bed of roses nor our wishes are horses and if it is so, even a beggar would ride and this epitomize a life of a teacher. The Ministry of Education has come up with various methodologies to escalate learning and educating students. When the system introduces new strategies, the resonating movement is first felt by the teachers. It is an additional pinch for the teachers but at the same time it creates avenues for students and teachers to learn more. When other office goers is on holiday with their families, the teachers work relentlessly planning for the next lesson. When other officers are on official tour, it is the teacher who makes tour within classrooms. Despite obligation, teachers work beyond office hour. Some work till late night while others work on Sundays. But only the teachers know how endearing it is to be a teacher despite numerous hurdles.
                                     

Unlike yesteryear, the celebration was extraordinary. We have seen Principal preparing before a week. Students were cordially preparing in MP hall but we never thought teacher’s day would go beyond our imagination. We were ushered to MP hall with chibdrel procession and hover over red carpeted floor. At that moment, I felt daunted, confused and even felt goose bumps all over the body because I have never seen teachers convoyed in this manner. But later I realized that, the only reason why people say, “ teachers are the most important person” could be of these covert values. The celebration was a collaboration of parents, NFE members and students. The unity signifies the importance of community. Different items were presented by various groups. When the presentation was going on, small students were searching their teachers to present a gift as a token of gratitude.
The day was exquisitely organized. Teachers were made to feel how important it is to be in this noble profession. It’s important for a teacher to have platform where we can rejuvenate and feel the sense of being a great educator. Teachers have to face parent pressure, public criticism and enormous work load but at the end of the day, the most priceless gift is shaping a child. “ A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” – Henry Adams.
