Happy teacher's day

Assalamualaikun and Selamat Sejahtera,

Every year, we celebrate teacher's day and every year i ask myself why this day is so important? Why we celebrate it? why we need this specific day? Are we just teacher for that particular day? As i know we are teachers ... every day, every minute, and every second. Even when we die we will be remembered as teacher. So it is more than that specific day.

When May 16th on the horizon, I wish it is not here, it's not coming but it is coming. I dont feel comfortable with pupils and students been ask to do all type of activities. Why not let them do it without our supervision. Why not we focus on our task of been a teacher. Let's have a forum, a discussion, a seminar on how we an improve our profession.

Let me post a question. Are we really educates our generation to be human of the future or we just educate our generation to be workers of the future? This is a basic question. Our system gears education towards producing skills worker devoid of producing human that uphold the pillars of the country that is "Rukun Negara". Also not to forget that our education does not really produce muslims that fear Allah. Muslims that fear Allah will be an asset that can contribute to contry development. They have higher productivity and most of all they will contribute to the well being of the community. The community will be safed from all kind of society illness.

So what need to be done? This is a question thst come with many suggestions. Everyone have their own opinions and suggestions: The Islamist and non Islamist. This will be a long discussion but we need to come to certain aggreement and common starting point. It is never late to start and we need to start now.
