The slogan for this year is “Good teachers and good students result in a good future".
Activities to mark the day will be held at the Teachers' Council of Thailand and the park in front of the adjoining Education Ministry building in Bangkok’s Dusit district.
Education Minister Treenuch Thienthong said this year’s activities will be organised under the theme “Teachers’ Power is the Heart of Transforming Educational Quality”, to highlight the role of teachers in improving the country’s education standard and ensuring a good future for all students.
The activities will also be broadcast on NBT’s TV and radio channels as well as on facebook.com/Khurusaphaofficial/ from 9.30am.
Schools nationwide will also host Teacher’s Day ceremonies, where students traditionally honour their teachers by wai-ing and presenting them with floral pedestal trays.
