Title

World Teachers’ Day, World Teachers’ Day Issue, Republic of Cyprus

Description

The Greek philosopher Plato (c.428-347 B.C.) considered education a lifelong affair. He used to profess that teachers should have statues erected in their honor ; for if one needed help at some time or other and someone helped one, then one would be much obliged and thankful; but if someone taught one how to satisfy all one’s needs all the time, then one should feel gratitude towards that person, and such a person is the teacher. Henry Brooks Adams (1838-1918) an American man of letters once said: "A teacher affects eternity ; he can never tell where his influence stops"". A Chinese proverb says: ""If you want one to eat for today, give him fish; if you don’t want him ever to hunger, teach him how to fish"". A Greek proverb says: ""Learn a trade and put it aside; when in need resort to it"".
