October 5 is World Teachers’ Day. Its aim is “to mobilise support for teachers and to ensure that the needs of future generations will continue to be met by teachers”. The theme for 2014 is Invest in the future, invest in teachers.
If we are to invest in teachers in T&T so that they can promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of students, we must reflect on whether we have created conditions to nurture effective teachers who strive for excellence in all that they do.
