Teachers' congress

Teachers' congress

The Indonesian Teachers Union (PGRI) is holding its 17th congress in Jakarta, involving some 11,000 teachers from all over the country. Their presence here reminds us of our days when our teachers patiently and wholeheartedly taught and educated us to become what we are today. So it is our obligation to pay deep respect to them.

Recognizing the important role played by the teachers in making us mature, we must take good care of their needs and pay due attention to their welfare.

In relation to their profession, their knowledge should be continuously upgraded to keep pace with development. The knowledge possessed by the teachers may have become obsolete so as to need upgrading.
