The Department of Education (DepEd) continuously recognizes the significant role of teachers in educating the Filipino children through the National Teachers’ Month (NTM) starting September 5, and its culmination on October 5 in celebration of the National Teachers’ Day (NTD) and World Teachers’ Day (WTD).
This year’s theme, “Gurong Pilipino: Handa sa Makabagong Pagbabago,” stresses the crucial role, loyal service, and dedicated commitment of teachers in developing globally minded citizens, nurturing families, strengthening communities, and building the nation.
“The NTM is a great avenue to honor those who are in the teaching profession and to express gratitude for the positive influence of teachers on Filipino learners,” DepEd Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones stated.
Ceremonial kickoff
A ceremonial kickoff of NTM will be held on September 9, 2019 at Initao National Comprehensive High School in Initao, Misamis Oriental. The kickoff will be spearheaded by Usec. Tonisito M.C. Umali, Esq. of the External Partnerships Service and DepEd presiding officer for the National Teachers’ Day Coordinating Council (NTDCC); DepEd Region X Director Arturo B. Bayocot; and Aniceto “Chito” Sobrepeña of Metrobank Foundation and NTDCC Co-chairperson.
