    "content": "Mr. Speaker Sir, I wish to make a Statement by the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education to commemorate the World Teachers’ Day, 2020. Yesterday, you might have noticed that there was a lot of excitement both in the mainstream media and in the social media because it was the International Teachers’ Day. It is a day broadly celebrated right across the world. Mr. Speaker, Sir, for all of us, Senators, there is a teacher who has impacted on our lives. Indeed, many teachers have impacted on our lives in different ways. The fact that the world was honouring them, we felt that as the Committee on Education, it is important to bring this to the fore and just look at the work they have done in this country. We have just gone through dealing with a pandemic and seen that teachers have had to be very innovative, creative and alert. They went into virtual training to ensure they could bring to the fore the deliverables that are key. Every year, this day reminds us of the critical role played by the teachers, who continue to be unsung heroes in this society. The genesis of this day was because of the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 International Labour Organization (ILO) and United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). This commemoration helps us to continue focusing on the rights and responsibilities of the teacher, standard of the initial preparation, further education that is so critical, recruitment, employment, teaching and learning conditions.
