Hello everyone, sorry for this delayed post as I was supposed to share with you all on the 5th Oct 2021 the World Teachers’ Day, however I have been caught up with family duties and my studies.
Talking about studies, our educators of the world citizen – teachers, they are the best instructor to deliver knowledge and skills in our lives.
Introduced by UNESCO in 1994, the World Teachers’ Day is observed on the 5th Oct every year. The purpose of this very special day is to highlight the responsibilities, rights and the value of teachers. And also the date is for us to appreciate the contributions and achievements of our teachers around the world.
Why the date 5 Oct is chosen as the date? Because it is an epic date back in 1966 that a special intergovernmental meeting accepted the UNESCO Recommendation on the Status Teachers.
This year, International Teachers’ Day has never been that special, and many of us around the globe would probably have already thanked our teachers for their tireless effort to teach, guide, inspire and support us during the Covid-19 pandemic.
No matter which stage of your life you are at, to all of us, a great teacher inspires hope, ignites imagination and instills the love of learning as Brad Henry says.
To me personally, one of my favourite teachers is professor Jennifer Milam when I was studying Art History and Theory in The University of Sydney. In my memory and now that was a while ago, and before 2007, she is one of the most influential and attractive teachers back in my university days. The eccentric way of teaching and her beautiful presence in the lecture rooms always make me thirsty for the learning of arts. She is the one who brought me to the world of French Baroque, Italian Renaissance, Victorian Art and more. And she has instilled the passion for art in my heart and soul deeply. And later when I was able to use my savings to travel to Europe, her teachings was consistently echoing at the background when I visited the flamboyant Palace of Versailles, walked passed by the magnificent Uffizi, and discovered million years of human history and art in the British Museum and more. I would like to say a Big Thank You to Jennifer for her influence in my learnings and life. She really inspires my hope, ignites my imagination and instills my love of learning!
