The efforts of educators all over the world are being recognised today which has been set aside by UNESCO as World Teacher’s Day. Every year, the 5th October is dedicated to a celebration of teachers and their incredible significance in the global community.
In the Western Cape, learners have taken time out of their exam preparation schedule to prepare a booklet containing messages of gratitude and appreciation for the work their teachers do. Some 31 000 of these booklets are being distributed today. The Gauteng Department of Education has also planned a series of events honouring teachers in that province, culminating in a personal message from the MEC for Education, Barbara Creecy.
While the day is earmarked as a celebration, World Teacher’s Day is also being used as a stark reminder of our nation’s teacher shortage and teachers themselves will be calling attention to the extremely difficult working conditions they face so tirelessly.
For those of you benefitting from the work of Penguin Tutoring’s inspirational tutors, don’t let today go by without also acknowledging the work that they do for you.
The extensive knowledge, communication skills and consistent support that they offer have become indispensable to so many of our valued clients, so if your child has extra lessons today, please don’t forget to say Thank You!
Happy World Teacher’s Day, Penguin Tutors!
