The 34th World Teachers' Day celebrations kicked off on October 1st at the Don Bosco Youth Center in Sarh, Chad. The event aims to bring together teachers from the Middle Chari province to discuss the challenges of their profession and explore ways to improve school results. For three days, participants will engage in discussions on working conditions, continuous training, school infrastructure, and economic difficulties faced by some teachers.
The Secretary General of the South-East Academy, Line Livorice Neloum, addressed the gathering, urging teachers to take more responsibility and be role models for their students. She encouraged them to redouble their efforts during the current academic year to enable the Middle Chari province to improve its performance and secure a top spot in the baccalaureate results.
Neloum emphasized that the commitment, availability, and seriousness of teachers in the classroom can significantly contribute to better academic results. She also called for greater attention to be paid to the situation of teachers and the protection of their profession. Her remarks set the tone for the discussions, which will focus on finding solutions to the challenges faced by teachers in the province.
The President of the Organizing Committee, Ndigmbaye Koutou, invited teachers to actively participate in the various activities planned over the three-day event. She emphasized that the discussions should focus on protecting teachers and finding ways to balance their profession with income-generating activities.
Koutou highlighted the need to explore solutions to two key concerns: how to better protect Chadian teachers and how to reconcile their profession with income-generating activities. Her comments reflected the concerns of many teachers who struggle to make ends meet while also pursuing their passion for teaching.
The event provides a platform for teachers to share their experiences, challenges, and best practices. By engaging in open discussions, they can identify areas for improvement and work together to find solutions. The outcome of the discussions is expected to contribute to improved working conditions and better academic results in the Middle Chari province.
