Angara: Educators have a 'crucial role' in shaping the nation's future

 As this year’s National Teachers’ Month (NTM) celebration comes to an end, Education Secretary Sonny Angara emphasized the vital contribution of teachers to nation-building.

"Always remember the significant role our teachers play in the progress of our nation. We rely on you to keep prioritizing the welfare of our students," Angara stated.

The Department of Education (DepEd) is set to wrap up the Teachers’ Month celebration with an event at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on Thursday.

Around 10,000 public school teachers, education stakeholders, DepEd officials, and local government representatives are anticipated to participate in the day-long event, which will include raffle draws and performances.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos are set to attend as guests of honor, along with Education Secretary Sonny Angara, House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte, and NTM Coordinating Council Chairperson and Metrobank Foundation President Aniceto Sobrepena.

The theme for this year’s National Teachers’ Month, “Together4Teachers,” aims to highlight the unwavering commitment of Filipino educators.
