In two straightforward words, pay tribute to your teacher with appreciation - THANK YOU.

The Department of Education (DepEd) on Thursday called on learners to honor their teachers with very simple thank you as it launched the month-long festivity of school teachers in public and private schools across the country.

“I think we should regularly take time to revitalize the image of teachers and pull public attention to their importance in society,” Education Secretary said.

“It is but appropriate that the country dedicate a entire month to recognize teachers for their unique role in setting up students for the future, in strengthening communities and in establishing a nation,” said the official.

Luistro also pressed students to engage their creativity and say their thank yous in their individual distinctive way, from writing them very simple notes and providing tokens to placing messages to their favourite teachers by means of social media.
