Celebrating our educational superheroes
The learners and teachers at Dawid Bezuidenhout celebrated Teachers’ Day earlier this year.
October 5 is celebrated every year as World Teachers' Day. World Teachers’ Day commemorates the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendations pertaining to the rights and responsibilities of teachers as well as the teaching and learning conditions. This year’s theme for World Teachers’ Day was ‘Leading in Crisis, Reimagining the Future’, which was adopted in view of the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic that affected the teaching and learning process.
“Teachers are among the most important members of our society and play a pivotal role in influencing children and shaping their lives. Not only do we create a conducive learning environment in which all children can learn and feel they belong, we also give children purpose and motivate them to succeed in life. Notwithstanding the crisis that we are currently facing and the resulting challenges, we will continue to uphold this crucial role to the best of our abilities,” said Mr Njabba, one of the teachers at the school.
“Teachers’ Day is a special day for the appreciation of teachers and to honour them for their special contributions for educating and moulding a Namibian child. Teachers give children purpose, set them up for success and inspire them to do well in life. I feel valued by society at large,” added Ms Matteus, another of the school’s teachers.
Ms Shikwambi added that Teachers’ Day is a special day to honour and show appreciation to all teachers. “Teachers are grateful for everything the school does for them and how they are appreciated by learners and management. Teachers’ Day should be celebrated because educators serve the society by instructing and guiding students through the different stages of their lives. Educators play a vital role in society and therefore their efforts are worthy to be acknowledged,” she added.
“To me, Teachers’ Day means recognition for sacrifices and living for others. To be a teacher means to forget about your dreams and sacrifice your time so that others may realise their dreams and make their ambitions come true. To me, Teachers’ Day means an honour for the special contribution we make to the society,” Mr Haufiku added.
Ms Malukolo is inspired by a quote of Henry Adams that a teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops. “It is true because teachers are extraordinary artists that use the human mind and spirit as the medium, to mould and develop children into outstanding and responsible human beings. My pride as a teacher lies in seeing my students thriving and evolving into phenomenal boys and girls who have distinctive characters, as well as becoming the best version of themselves. Let us continue supporting our teachers in ensuring that the future of our children remains a priority,” she said.
