โIf a student becomes a doctor, scientist, politician or community leader because of your contribution, then youโll feel successful,โ he remarked. The Executive Member expressed concern over the need to restore the dignity of the teaching profession in CADC and urged teachers to take greater pride in their profession while recognising themselves as important contributors to society.
He said that the seminar was a step in the right direction towards bringing about reforms in the education sector.
