Vietnam Teachers' Day: Sowing seeds

Among the countless paths that can lead to the realization of one’s dreams, is there any young person who chooses to stay in the pedagogical university? Is there any person who keeps the enthusiasm from childhood to become a person who sows green, lush seeds for the younger generation?

HAPPY THAT MANY EXCELLENT STUDENTS CHOOSE TEACHING

In the recent admission season, the education sector has received news: The benchmark scores of many pedagogical majors have skyrocketed. Good news about the teaching profession has continuously come after a series of policies from the Party and the State to "revive" pedagogical schools. These include the policy of exempting tuition fees and supporting living expenses for pedagogical students, the policy of ordering pedagogical jobs to ensure employment after graduation, and a series of policies to increase salaries and "untie" pressure on teachers...

It is the changes from the decision combined with the love for the profession and children that many students choose to teach right at the age of 18. It is gratifying that the admission scores for some teaching majors are gradually "reviving" and rising to be on par with many "hot" majors! It is gratifying that good and very good students choose to teach. It is gratifying that the saying "rats running in the same hole will enter teaching" is no longer haunting every admission season.

Teaching knowledge and nurturing the souls of generations of students is a great honor for teachers but also very difficult.

Nowadays, if you want to become a teacher, don't dream that just by studying averagely and having average abilities you can easily get a "ticket".

"Good teachers make the country prosperous" - a great lesson that forever retains its value, affirming the position and role of teachers in the task of training and nurturing young generations who are both virtuous and dedicated to building a strong country.

TEACHING IS THE PROFESSION OF "GROWING PEOPLE"

Teachers standing on the podium to teach knowledge and nurture the souls of generations of students is a great honor but also a lot of hardship. Teachers not only need the knowledge of a scientist with deep understanding but also need the heart of a mother, tolerant, forgiving, always patient in correcting the unstable and deviant manifestations in the perception, attitude, and behavior of students... Because no matter what, students are still just children struggling on the journey of learning to be human. Therefore, education is teaching and nurturing and there is no single lesson plan that is the same for all children.

A teacher not only needs the knowledge of a knowledgeable scientist but also the heart of a mother.

In an education system that is changing day by day due to the strong impact of artificial intelligence (AI), do teachers still hold the unique position of imparting knowledge, cultivating capacity, and shaping the personality of generations of students?

A lecture, a lesson plan, a test matrix requires teachers to put in their heart and time, but ChatGPT now gives results in a moment. Therefore, every teacher should remember that once a teacher abandons himself in the flow of technology, does not innovate, is not creative, lacks enthusiasm, it is no different than pushing himself into the fear of losing to AI.

Learning in the AI ​​era must change, but it is certain that no software can replace the loving heart and enthusiasm of teachers who guide the young generation to do good things. No matter how smart AI is, only the heart of a "school mother" can delicately detect the sad eyes of students, the absent-minded faces of students...

Together with parents, teachers contribute to cultivating students' personalities.

Whether a student is declining or improving day by day, showing signs of discipline, stagnation or commendable change, whether the student's career orientation is appropriate or off track... all need a teacher by their side. From there, the teacher can train and cultivate the student's personality, dreams and aspirations.

On Vietnamese Teachers' Day, we earnestly hope that more talented young people will choose teaching with a love for the profession, a love for children, enthusiasm to kindle the fire of love and make constant efforts to innovate on the silent journey of "ferrying the boat"...
