honorary teachers, outstanding teachers, students and guests.
Mai Ei Phyu Sin
and Ma Mya Thet Khaing, middle school students of Nay Pyi Taw No. 1 Basic
Education High School acted as master of ceremonies. Students of Lewe No. 1 BEHS
sang a song entitled“Honourable Teachers to open the ceremony.
Speaking on the
occasion, Vice-President Dr Sai Mauk Kham said that in Myanmar society, the good
traditions of placing teachers who endeavour for the development of younger
generations based on their goodwill, hobby, and sacrifice in the same plane as
Buddha, Dhamma, Sanghas and parents and the tradition of paying homage to them
is still preserved today.
To acknowledge
the endeavours of teachers who nurture human resources for the development of
human society, 5 October was designated as World Teachers’ Day in the world as
recommended by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) and International Labour Organization.
Myanmar has
annually been celebrating World Teachers’ Day just as other nations in the
world do, and now this is the 10th time.
As the new
government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar is striving for the emergence
of a modern developed democratic nation, President U Thein Sein gave a guidance
regarding the education programmes to be carried out as follows: to implement
compulsory primary education system; to nurture new generation human resources
to become intelligentsias and technicians; to upgrade the quality of teachers;
to award scholarships and stipends and to enable private sectors to participate
in education services.
In Myanmar, a
Thirty-Year Long-Term Education Promotion Plan for the promotion of national
education which is beneficial to the nation and its people was drawn in order to
face the challenges of the 21st century and to uplift education level to that of
the international standard.
This special
plan defined 10 programmes to be implemented by the basic education sector and
36 programmes to be implemented by the higher education sector.
In the basic
education sector, to have access to education for all school-age children and to
complete basic education for all school children, collaboration has been made by
parents and the national people and as a result, 5.1 million primary level
students have been provided with textbooks free of charge.
Therefore, it is
necessary for primary school principals, teachers and parents to collaborate in
promoting students’ attendance, reducing the number of drop-out and training
the students to enhance all-round development.
Starting from
the coming 2012-2013 academic year, at the basic education sub-sector, plans
have been made to award scholarships to the outstanding students at
middle and high school levels, to award stipends to outstanding students who
have difficulties in continuing with their studies, to award scholarships to
those in States and Regions who pass with high marks in their matriculation
examina tion.
As teachers play
an important role for the development of the education sector, it is necessary
to upgrade teaching qualities of the teachers.
In the basic
education sector, Pre-service Teacher Education Diploma Courses and Degree
Courses are being conducted, and teachers training courses and Instructional
Skills Upgrading Refresher Courses are conducted for teachers of English and
Mathematics at the national level. Moreover, MEd and PhD degree programmes are
also offered.
Now, about
200,000 qualified teachers have been produced by the two Institutes of Education
and 20 Education Colleges.
For the
development of the human resources development of the nation, 41,000 Basic
Education Schools have been opened throughout the nation and more than 270,000
teachers are teaching over 8.1 million students. Moreover, in order to enhance
the qualities such as critical thinking skills, creative thinking skills,
analytical
thinking skills and problem-solving skills student should be taught by using
child-centered approach. They should also be trained to have personal hygiene,
to have health education, to cultivate in them the habit of conserving the
environment, to become citizens who are polite and who are of integrity and high
morals and to become educated people who can be of benefits to the world.
It is learnt
that in the world, to narrow the gap of the number of male and female teachers
in teaching and learning, the motto of World Teachers’ Day 2011 is‘Teachers
for Gender Equality’. In Myanmar also, as the number of female teacher has
increased, in order that this would not be of any limitations in teaching and
management of schools, and of any barrier in serving at schools in remote area,
it would be necessary to persuade and provide incentives to male teachers so
that their number would increase.
In the higher
education sector, as 161 universities and colleges have been opened, the number
of higher education institutions has increased by 5 times than before. Under the
Ministry of Education, 64 universities and colleges have been opened and 12400
teachers are currently teaching over 490,000 students. As the State has
established an Arts and Science University, a Technology University and a
University of Computer Science each in 24 Special Development Zones, students
can easily pursue higher education in their own regions.
In the same way,
PhD degree programmes were expanded, and so far there have been 4,519 PhD degree
holders, and 2,429 candidates are currently attending the PhD programme. As a
result, the education qualification of faculty members of universities has
improved and human resources whom the State can rely on can be trained by them.
In this ceremony
held in commemoration of World Teachers’ Day, on behalf of all teachers and
faculty, I am very pleased to learn that certificates and prizes will be awarded
to four hale and hearty eminent teachers who are making contributions to
education and social programme, an outstanding teacher, teachers, trainees and
students who win prizes in article, essay and poetry competitions in
commemoration of World Teachers’ Day, education colleges that win prizes in
the teaching aids competitions at basic education level and middle school level.
I would also
like to urge teachers to try their best to become good teachers who have five
attributes, as composed in Magha Deva verse by Ashin Zawana, Manle Sayadaw:
“With love and sympathy, a teacher admonishes his students whenever they make
mistakes, without keeping them to himself, but reveal the truth for the benefits
of the students.” I would like to honour and thank all teachers for their
perseverance, diligence and effort based on their love, sympathy and goodwill
and for the development of human resources in their respective regions.
In conclusion, I
would like to urge officials from Education Departments and teachers throughout
the country to make great effort in training and teaching for the development of
socioeconomic of the State and to nurture the new generation to become good
citizens; teachers to prove themselves as having attributes of noble teachers to
the national people and students and with heart and soul devote themselves to
education programmes, and the national people, wellwishers, social organizations
to fully participate in the implementation of national education programmes so
that the objectives of the national education would be fully achieved.
