Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) recently held the 9th session of the ‘Illuminations’ initiative in celebrations of World Teachers Day, with the participation of over 300 students, teachers, parents, school headmasters, and senior officials from the Ministry.

During the session, several educational consultants and teachers spoke about the significance of this year’s theme, ‘The Teacher: Giving That Inspires Generations,’ sharing their journeys in the teaching profession, their reasons for choosing this career, personal experiences in the educational field, their evaluations of it, and how they inspire their colleagues and students to increase their passion for education. 

They also discussed the influences and challenges they faced, how they overcame them, the role of the community in supporting them, their relationships with their students and the surrounding community, and the messages they wish to convey to their fellow teachers on this occasion, emphasising that teaching is a mission before it is a job.

In his remarks during the session, Educational Consultant Dr. Abdulrahman Al Harami discussed the significance of the Teacher’s Day theme, affirming that teachers are the most giving members of society. He highlighted the impact of nurturing teachers in shaping generations and leaders, calling on the community and parents to support teachers and elevate their status.
