“Teaching is a work of heart! Happy Teacher’s day!” I would like to begin by saluting the Baobab teachers, who toil day and night to ensure the overall development of our students. There are only a few beautiful souls in this world who dedicate their time, hard work, and life to give a bright future to every child whom we call Teachers. It’s a good day to remember those at the frontline of Education — teachers — who play the critical role of advancing the right to education and equipping students with 21st century skills. We have all had that teacher. The one that inspired us. The one that encouraged us to ask questions, discuss topics and research. The one that affected our choices of subject for university. The one that helped us get where we are today. The one that made learning fun. This year, our teachers are leading the way into a new type of classroom that has not yet been created. With the circumstances brought on by the pandemic since last year, our teachers have been working harder than ever. Many you had to transition to virtual learning and completely rework your teaching plans and living arrangements. Teachers are putting themselves at risk every day to make sure children get the best care possible. That’s why, this year, it’s especially important to celebrate and support Baobab teachers on our National Teacher’s Day. Today is a great opportunity to thank all of our teachers for all you do for the Baobab community today and every day. Once again, I extend my Thanks to all for today, our Teacher’s Day and pay my tributes to Baobab’s teachers for the countless sacrifices you have made. Our nation stands and rises on the shoulders of our teachers. Enjoy the weekend!
