The establishment of Teacher's Day marks the respect of the whole society for teachers. This is because the work of teachers largely determines the future of our country. Teachers' work is closely related to every family, every child, teenager and youth. Teachers play a great role in the development and progress of human society.
Teachers are engineers who cast human civilization, disseminators and builders of human civilization. The continuity of the development of human civilization depends on the work handed down from generation to generation by teachers. If a society, a country and a nation do not have hard and effective teachers, then the civilization process of this society, nation and country will be damaged. Therefore, the history of civilization and the factors of leaving teachers are unimaginable.
Since then, every year on Teachers' Day, teachers all over the country have celebrated this festival in different ways. By selecting awards and introducing experiences, we can help solve practical difficulties such as salary, housing and medical care, improve teaching conditions and greatly improve teachers' educational enthusiasm.
