National Teachers Month theme 2024: “Together4Teachers”
The Philippines will begin its yearly celebration of the National Teachers Month (NTM) today, September 5. It will run until October 5, which has been designated by the United Nations as World Teachers Day.
This month-long celebration began in 2011 as stipulated in then-President Benigno Aquino III’s Proclamation 242. In line with this, the Department of Education (DepEd) has announced that the theme for NTM 2024 is “Together4Teachers.”
The agency elaborated: “Nakatuon sa temang “Together4Teachers,” ating ipagdiwang at kilalanin ang husay at walang katumbas na dedikasyon ng mga Pilipinong guro na pangunahing katuwang ng DepEd sa pagtataguyod ng dekalidad na edukasyon para sa lahat ng mga mag-aaral.” (“Focused on the theme ‘Together4Teachers,’ let us celebrate and recognize the excellence and unmatched dedication of Filipino teachers who are the main partners of DepEd in strengthening quality education for all students.”)
The kick off ceremony for this year’s NTM will be hosted by School Division Office – Candon City in the province of Ilocos Sur. This annual celebration of NTM 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
