World Teachers' Day, which falls on October 5th each year, is an occasion to recall the pivotal role that teachers play in building human beings and generations, and to enhance the status of education as a fundamental pillar in the journey of development and building the future.
The Director of Education for the Ajloun Governorate, Khalid Joi'ed, said that Teachers' Day represents an annual milestone to express pride and appreciation for the efforts exerted by teachers in performing their noble mission, affirming that they are the cornerstone in building the nation and generations, and enlightening minds.
He added that the teacher leaves a lasting impact on the lives of their students through knowledge, guidance, and education, pointing out that educational giving is not limited to the transfer of knowledge, but goes beyond it to building personality, enhancing values, virtue, and belonging.
Joi'ed stressed that supporting teachers and providing them with an appropriate educational environment is a priority for raising the level of education, pointing to the attention and support given to teachers by His Majesty King Abdullah II, and the attention given by Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah to the status of teachers and the development of the educational process.
For her part, the Director of Technical Affairs in the Northern Mazar Education, Dr. Rania Al-Deek, said that the teacher represents the cornerstone of the educational process, as they are the closest to students and the most capable of discovering their abilities and needs.
She added that the developments in the education sector require teachers to continue learning and professional development, and to acquire new skills in the fields of technology, digital education, and modern teaching methods.
For his part, the Director of Administrative Affairs in the Education Directorates of Taibah and Al-Wasatiyah, Dr. Khaled Bani Amer, said that Teachers' Day represents a national and educational occasion to recall the great efforts exerted by teachers in schools, and the responsibilities they bear in educating generations and enhancing values of discipline and responsibility.
He stressed the importance of providing a supportive school environment for teachers, and enhancing partnership between educational administrations, teachers, parents, and the local community, which enables schools to perform their mission more effectively.
Bani Amer explained that the teacher is no longer just a transmitter of information, but has become a guide, facilitator of learning, and partner in building the student's personality, especially in light of the rapid changes in the education sector.
For his part, the Director of Al-Marjam Secondary School for Boys, Dr. Ashraf Al-Ghazo, said that the school and the teacher form the first environment in which the student interacts with knowledge, values, and behavior.
He said that the teacher today faces increasing responsibilities that require them to combine the educational, pedagogical, and advisory roles, alongside dealing with digital transformations and the needs of the new generation of students.
For his part, the Chairman of the Educational Development Council in the Governorate, the journalist Ali Al-Qudah, said that the teacher is the most influential factor in the quality of the educational process, and that any project to reform or develop education cannot achieve its goals without real investment in and qualification of the teacher.
He added that the role of the teacher in the modern era has gone beyond transmitting knowledge to building critical thinking skills, creativity, problem-solving, and enhancing students' ability to consciously deal with information sources and technology.
He pointed out that the teacher plays a fundamental role in protecting cultural and national identity and enhancing values among students, calling for strengthening trust between teachers, students, parents, and educational institutions.
Educational opinions emphasize that Teachers' Day represents an opportunity to renew appreciation for this profession, which is directly linked to the future of societies, at a time when the need for a teacher capable of keeping pace with educational and technological transformations, while preserving the essence of their mission based on education and building human beings, is increasing.
