Greetings on Teacher’s Day I would note that, as of this year, the special status of the educator has been enshrined at state level. This reflects the high public regard for the teacher’s mission and guarantees both the necessary support and new opportunities for professional growth and development. Professional skills competitions also play a major role. They not only help to support and recognise outstanding, talented educators but also, crucially, facilitate the sharing of innovative, highly effective, and cutting-edge practices, thereby raising the overall quality of education, the President noted, in part.
