Lessons for life
A school class are visiting their local area with their three teachers. What could this lesson be about? Perhaps it's about some special story connected to the house next to them? Or perhaps it's the trees and the plants in the urban space that they are investigating?
UNESCO proclaimed October 5th to be World Teachers' Day. The purpose of this day is to give attention to the unique role teachers have. Near all of us have memories of a teacher. As many teachers mark our lives in a good way, and they can help us change for the better.
This day commemorates the achievements of education, as well as noting the difficulties, such as the acute lack of teachers across great parts of the world.
