“Today, schools have strong and brave children who will one day carry the nation’s flag. These children will grow up to be as strong as the Maldivian people with the guidance, education, and care provided by their teachers,” he wrote, highlighting the role of teachers in nurturing the next generation.
President Muizzu reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to supporting teachers’ professional development and welfare across the country, extending warm greetings and prayers for their well-being and that of their families.
First Lady Sajidha Mohamed also shared a message on X, describing teachers as nurturers and guardians who pass on knowledge and skills from one generation to the next. She said that without teachers, society would lack a future, culture, and hope.
“Each teacher is a mother, a father, and a protector for their students. Teachers are the ones who transfer knowledge from one generation to another. A society without teachers has no future, no culture, no vitality, and no hope,” the First Lady stated.
World Teachers’ Day, observed annually on 5 October, celebrates the contributions of teachers and the essential role they play in building strong, educated, and resilient societies.
