Legacy of Teacher’s Day
Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that “teaching is not a profession, it is a way of life.” Teachers were asked to comprehend the global changes taking place in order to better prepare the next generation to deal with them. Teaching is not a profession, but rather “Jeevan Dharm” (a way of life). In actuality, guiding and illuminating are divine duties. Additionally, he stated that teachers should be treated with respect if India is to regain its position as the world’s educational leader and urge students to engage in critical thinking about national concerns. As they lay the foundation and the pillars of society, teachers’ tenacity and sincerity will “shape the destiny of the nation.”
