2019 World Teachers Day: “Like Peter Who Denied Christ, Some Teachers Have Denied Being Teachers” - NW MINSEC Boos.
By
Raymond Dingana in Bamenda.
The North West Regional Delegate for Secondary Education, Mr.
Ngwang Roland Yuven says, insecurity has caused some teachers to start behaving
like the Biblical Peter who denied Jesus Christ. While addressing those who
turned out to celebrate the 26th edition of World Teachers Day,
Saturday October 05th, 2019 at the esplanade of the Regional
Delegation of Secondary Education, Mr. Ngwang Roland Yuven said, some teachers
have denied being teachers just like Simon Peter denied Christ in the Bible.
Celebrated with the theme: “Young Teachers”, The Future of The Teaching Profession, the day was
celebrated at a time teachers in the region are faced with a lot of challenges
especially in the area of security. He said despite the fact that the academic
year is still very young, some teachers, schools and school children have been
attacked pointing out the case of a form two student who has already spent two
weeks with his kidnappers calling on the teachers not to allow insecurity to
cause them lose hope in their profession.
Quizzed on whether the just ended dialogue will serve as a catalyst
for teachers to start accepting without fear the fact that they are teachers,
the regional delegate was positive: “Teachers should be the foremost group that
should champion the message of hope. We expect teachers to raise the spirit of
hope, not only within themselves but with all other persons who touch them, so
I have that trust”.
Among those who answered present at the celebrations was the
Inspector General at The Governor’s office, Mr. Ngome Kome. He sent words of
appreciation to teachers in the region for heir resilience: “We
all have seen the heavy price teachers in the NWR have paid in the course of
this crisis, yet, there has been no blank academic year in the NWR. I also want
to thank parents and stake holders”.
The event that also had the SDO for Mezam, Mr. Songa Pierre Rene
in attendance with the conspicuous absence of Teachers' Trade Unions, also saw the decoration of thirty five teachers from five out of
the seven divisions of the NWR excluding Donga Mantung and Menchum Divisions
with the Knight of Academic Order.
