National Teachers Month theme 2022 – “Gurong Pilipino, Dangal ng Sambayanang Pilipino”
The Philippines began its annual celebration of the National Teachers Month (NTM) last September 5. It will run until October 5, which has been declared by the United Nations as World Teachers Day.
This month-long celebration was started in 2011 as mandated by then-President Benigno Aquino III’s Proclamation 242.
In connection with this, the Department of Education (DepEd) has announced that the theme for this year’s NTM is “Gurong Pilipino, Dangal ng Sambayanang Pilipino.”
The agency elaborated: “Ating bigyang-pugay ang husay at kadakilaan ng mga Pilipinong guro na patuloy na nagbibigay ng hindi matatawarang dedikasyon para sa pag-abot ng pangarap ng bawat batang Pilipino” (“Let’s recognize the excellence and greatness of Filipino teachers who give unparalleled dedication in helping the Filipino youth achieve their dreams”).
This annual celebration of the National Teachers Month aims to achieve the following objectives:
a. honor those who are in the teaching profession;
b. acknowledge and give emphasis on the crucial role, loyal service, and dedicated commitment of teachers in developing globally-minded citizens, nurturing families, strengthening communities, and building the nation;
c. revitalize the image of and respect for teaching as a vocation by increasing public awareness on the value of teachers in the Philippine society;
d. take the occasion as an opportunity in building the image of teaching as an attractive and fulfilling profession;
e. generate widespread support and assistance for teachers; and
f. express gratitude for the positive influences of teachers on Filipino learners
