The coming of September always signifies the return of teachers as well as students to commence on a new academic year after the summer break.
Education is a basic right to everyone and enables human beings to fully participate and contribute in the day to day activities of their respective society. As this is the case, the macro policy of the Eritrean government regarding education underlines that education should be available to everyone so as to help them break free from the yokes of poverty and backwardness and improve their lives.
The policy also highlights the value of education and establishes the provision of education and its components as a strategic cornerstone of the national development and the nation building process. It is for this reason that the Government of Eritrea is making huge investment each year towards ensuring and developing educational provision in all parts of Eritrea.
This being the target that is being sought to be acquired, it is needless to say that this task’s main implementers are teachers, as leaders are pivotal in bringing about change and development. Their involvement in such undertaking should therefore be honored by all members of the society.
Here it should also be stated that it is also the duty of teachers to act responsibly in imparting knowledge on their students and setting an example and assuming the position of ideal role models. It is also the duty of the students to realize the fact that nothing can be acquired without education and therefore devote themselves to seeking education and have a voracious and insatiable desire to learn .Parents also have a great role in the teaching and learning process. A failure of a student in a classroom most of the times finds its roots in parents.
In this commencement of the scholastic year, parents are expected to become conscious of their role in the education of their children and contribute their part by actively monitoring the education performance of their sons and daughters so as to provide their children an everlasting legacy.
Wishing everyone a successful academic year!
