Adjust font size:

Some 1,300 teachers were presented with commendation certificates in Hong Kong on Sunday for their devotion for the students.

Officiating at the "Salute to Teachers -- Teachers' Day 2006 and Commendation Certificate Presentation Ceremony" held on Sunday, Hong Kong Secretary for Education and Manpower Arthur Li commended all the teachers in Hong Kong for their contribution to the growth and development of the younger generation.

Li said good teachers should not only have rich subject knowledge and a good mastery of effective teaching skills, but should also demonstrate a strong sense of commitment and responsibility.

"Teachers today do not just help students acquire knowledge," Li said. "They must help students face the challenges ahead through developing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, cultivating their creativity as well as enabling them to effectively and flexibly apply the knowledge and skills acquired."

He expressed his appreciation to teachers for their devotion of time and efforts for the benefit of their students.

Some 1,300 teachers from primary and secondary schools as well as kindergartens were presented with commendation certificates during the ceremony, which aimed to foster a culture of respect for teachers.

This year was the 11th "Teachers Commendation Scheme," for which kindergartens, primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong are invited to nominate two teachers serving at their schools in appreciation of their devotion to students.
