Good morning teachers and my dear friends. On this special occasion of Teachers
Day, I am going to give a special speech on behalf of the pupils of the school.
First of all I would like to shed light on when Teachers Day is celebrated. The
World Teachers Day recognised by UNESCO is on October 5th, and not 16th May as
in Malaysia. China celebrates this special event on September 10th. It is celebrated
on different days in different countries across the world.
Our country chooses May 16th to celebrate our Teachers Day. It is on the same
day, in 1956, when the Razak Report; a document of the Education Committee
regarding education in Malaysia was approved. The document was named after Tun
Abdul Razak who was the Education Minister at that time. Although Teachers Day
is not an official public holiday, celebrations are usually held.
Teachers Day is celebrated to praise the valuable contributions made by teachers
to the whole society by delivering knowledge and shaping up the future generation
is fairly popular in many countries across the world and it is even acknowledged by
UNESCO.
Lastly, I would like to tell all of us that at some stage of our life, we have
benefited greatly from our teachers. So, celebrating Teachers Day is a wonderful
opportunity for all of us to show our respect, gratitude and appreciation towards our
teachers.
