A tribute to teachers — the builders of tomorrow — upon whose shoulders rests the responsibility for our children and their future. This noble profession has held its esteemed place throughout the ages, remaining a cornerstone in shaping the child’s upbringing, awareness, and values.
Although the modern school has shifted many educational responsibilities toward purely academic functions, the teacher’s impact on character building remains profound. From early childhood to adolescence, a child spends at least eight hours a day under the school’s care, where the teacher serves as a role model before being a source of knowledge.
Students in public schools are fortunate to have many teachers who preserve and understand the local environment and identity. Yet the greater challenge often lies in some private schools, where a teacher may — unintentionally and without malice — convey a culture that does not always align with our values, simply by acting naturally within the context that shaped them.
Where has the teacher’s voice gone in the digital space?
My message to you, dear teacher: Step into social media. We need your presence in creating Arabic educational content. Share your experience and knowledge online — you are best positioned to influence and inspire. Post short lessons, inspiring stories, useful insights, and linguistic and cultural touches that enrich family and student life.
Yes, you already make an impact inside classrooms and school walls, but it is time to expand your influence in the virtual world — to strengthen the movement for knowledge and language and to help safeguard our cultural and popular heritage.
Your mindful presence on digital platforms is no longer a luxury; it is a natural extension of your educational mission: to teach, to inspire, and to build people — wherever they are.
