Extending greetings to all the teachers on the occasion of Teacher’s Day, the Nagaland governor, P.B. Acharya, on Friday advised them to empower students instead of giving teaching through routine lectures.
In his message, Acharya said teaching was a noble profession and the role of a teacher was very significant, adding that only the best should be given teaching job.
He said Reminding teachers were “more than just an educator, a mentor and a friend”, for which he urged them to inculcate values and ethics amongst children.
“Teachers are the back bone of our society. They play a great role in building up the character of students and shape them to become an ideal citizen of India,” Acharya said. He further stated that the future of the country took shape inside the classrooms and through the work of the teachers. Therefore, the governor said the teachers needed to be honoured and respected by the society. He also appealed to the students to remember that teachers and parents were their best well wishers and they must learn to respect them.
Meanwhile, the governor conveyed his very best wishes for the celebration of Teachers’ Day, 2016.
