Celebrating the National Teachers Month

The Department of Education, together with all the teachers all over the country celebrate the National Teachers’ Month with the theme, “Gurong Pilipino: Kaakbay sa Progreso.”

The department issued a DepEd Memorandum 137, series of 2017 for the celebration of the National Teachers’ Month, Teachers Day and World Teachers’ Day.

The celebration aims to honor those who are in the teaching profession; acknowledge and give emphasis on the crucial role, loyal service and dedicated commitment of teachers in developing globally-minded citizens, nurturing families, strengthening communities and building the nation… and to express gratitude for the positive influences of teachers on Filipino learners.

Today, October 2, 2017, the Student Body Organization officers led the school-based Teachers’ Day celebration as their expression of gratefulness to the teachers of Bukay Pait National High School. A short program followed by sumptuous lunch were held in the campus.

“As National Teachers’ Month reaches its end, let’s pay tribute to the teachers who push us to #GoHigher. Share this video and tag your favorite teacher to thank him/her for being part of who you’ve become.” – Vibal Group
