October 05, 2006- 10.45 GMT

 

All Sri Lankans should appreciate and honour the invaluable service rendered to the nation by teachers, said President Mahinda Rajapaksa in his message to mark World Teachers’ Day.

Teachers were one of the five main powers behind the establishment of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) and as such it is customary for our party to appreciate their service, said the President.

Furthermore, I would like to wish the teachers of Sri Lanka all the required courage and strength to attain the objective of creating an educated future generation for the 21st century while facing the challenges of globalization.

A Felicitation Ceremony organized by the Ministry of Education to mark the World Teachers’ Day will be held today at the BMICH.
