Teaching from the heart

Teaching used to be a noble profession, a thankless job in many respects. Perhaps, we all can look back on good memories with one or more teachers during at least 14 years we spent in school from primary to tertiary levels. There may be those who we look up to as inspirations, and others we remember with disdain.

On October 5, the world celebrates World Teachers’ Day, an annual activity since 1994 to raise public awareness on the contributions of teachers to education and development.
