Educational systems around the world have had to upgrade in order to respond to the new socio-economic challenges of a rapidly globalizing world. Access to education has improved, but some educational systems are still struggling throughout the world.

On World Teachers Day, October 5, Vice Prime Minister Hon. Theo Heyliger, would like to congratulate the nation’s teachers on this special day.

"We are committed to realizing quality education for all learners. This is an integral part of Governments efforts and the efforts of the Minister of Education Hon. Dr. Rhoda Arrindell to help ensure a better life for all.

"Teachers are the heart of our country’s educational system. It is essential that teachers receive the support of all including parents. Achieving excellence in teaching and learning cannot only be left up to teachers alone.

"It is the responsibility of Government, school boards and management, as well as parents to help advance present and future generations. Children and adult learners deserve nothing less in our country.

"I express my sincere appreciation to the teachers of the nation, for your dedication and commitment to delivering a quality education to all our students.

"Teaching is a demanding profession and on this World Teachers Day, we acknowledge the critical role that teachers play and thank them for the invaluable contribution they make to shaping and helping to secure the future of society," Vice Prime Minister Hon. Theo Heyliger said on Tuesday in his World Teachers Day Message.

World Teacher’s Day was inaugurated on 5th October 1994 by the United Nations (UN) Education Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to commemorate the 1966 joint signing of the UNESCO/International Labour Organization (ILO) Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers.

In adopting this recommendation, governments unanimously recognized the importance of competent, qualified and motivated teachers in society.
