    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to join my colleagues and the Standing Committee on Education led by Sen. (Dr.) Zani in celebrating teachers during the World Teachers’ Day. Mr. Speaker, Sir, any knowledge, value and skill that anyone has are all attributed to a teacher. The first teacher is a mother. Even as we sit here and demoralize teachers, as Governments or people, we should remember that everything we know, every value we hold and every skill we practice, we have acquired it from a teacher in whatever form. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we celebrate teachers on this World Teachers’ Day, we should continue to remember that teachers have demonstrated great leadership and innovation. They have adopted new teaching styles. Now, they are forced to adopt Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) in this country and digital learning; something that they were trained in college. They have found new solutions to ensure that learning never stops. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the theme of this year’s World Teachers’ Day has taken note of that and appreciated these efforts. That theme has been: “Teachers leading in crisis, reimagining the future.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, this speaks to the importance of teacher leadership during the time of crisis. Even during this COVID-19 times, we have seen in communities where teachers have been engaged to educate people, to give people public education on how to deal with COVID-19, its effects and how to avoid it all together. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you, for this opportunity. Congratulations, teachers!"
