Teaching profession

It is a metaphor for a "ferryman" with the mission of taking students across the river of knowledge to the shore of success. So that after each "ferry trip" on the "river of knowledge", young students walk towards bright paths, forever grateful for the patience and dedication of their teachers.

It is a metaphor for "the sower", the seeds of knowledge, the seeds of the soul in the career of "cultivating people". Sometimes, the metaphor of "the sower" becomes imbued with the efforts and silent, persistent dedication of teachers in the highlands in the poignant expression: "the sower of letters in the highlands". How many teachers like that are dedicating their youth to the career of "sowing letters" into the eyes and pure souls of children in the highlands?

Then the "candle", burning itself out to illuminate the students. Then the "guide", helping students determine the right direction in their life journey. Then the "firelighter", the flames of inspiration, enthusiasm and passion. Then the "soul engineer", creating personality values ​​for generations of students.

Then recently, with profound changes in the field of education, the teaching profession has welcomed new and more novel metaphors. These new metaphors are closer to the spirit of humanistic and egalitarian education today, but still reflect the great expectations of society about the role and responsibility of teachers.

As "companions", teachers not only teach students but also share and accompany them on the journey of discovering knowledge and life. As "enlighteners", emphasizing the role of teachers in stimulating creative thinking, instead of imposing knowledge, opening the doors of knowledge and opening the minds of students to help them see new horizons of knowledge and life.

These metaphors rich in human values ​​reflect the beautiful spirit of "respecting teachers and valuing education" that Vietnamese society must consciously preserve. First of all, it is the preservation of teachers. The teaching profession must be linked to personal mission, must be deeply engraved in the heart and belief of each teacher about the value of the profession. A true teacher must consider teaching as the purpose of his life, not simply a livelihood.

Thanh Nien Newspaper respectfully congratulates Vietnamese Teachers' Day

As for society, we need to fully share with teachers the pressures they are shouldering when teachers are placed at the center of shaping the personality, knowledge, and future of individuals as well as the whole society. The demands for erudition, patience, dedication, sacrifice, wisdom, enthusiasm, creativity, and exemplary behavior from teachers are all legitimate. But do not let that cause you to lack understanding of the daily difficulties that teachers face. Do not "deify" teachers, turning them into unrealistic images. Please pay attention and sincerely contribute to supporting teachers to develop and improve themselves to fully practice their mission.
