GEORGE NEWS - Even with the best equipped schools or the best textbooks, without teachers, children won’t be able to learn and progress. 

This has never been more evident than during the pandemic, where many parents were forced by necessity to implement home-schooling and recognised just what a mammoth task teaching truly is.

“Nevertheless, teachers are often the unsung heroes of education, who often deal with adversity on a daily basis”, says Malcolm Mooi, founder of online professional learning community Zibuza.net. “World Teacher’s Day (5 October) is a rare opportunity to celebrate these essential members of our communities.”

They believe a good teacher has the potential to improve the lives of their students, and a great teacher has the potential to change their lives.

So let us know how George is celebrating their teachers. Please send your videos, photographs and news to salette@groupeditors.co.za
