Range Of Activities Lined Up For 2025 National Teachers' Day Celebration
Deputy director-general of Education (Professionalism Development Sector), Dr Mohd Azam Ahmad, stated that among the highlights is a public speaking competition for teachers to demonstrate their professionalism, factual insight and ethical expression in articulating ideas and viewpoints.
'Such competitions not only refine teachers' communication skills but also showcase how educators can serve as role models for students in delivering their views with substance, decorum and confidence.
'We envision teachers not merely as classroom instructors, but as thought leaders who are courageous in voicing perspectives on education policies and the future of our nation's youth,' he told reporters after the final round of the public speaking competition today.
He added that the lineup of activities includes a parliamentary-style debate competition, welfare and spiritual initiatives, exhibitions and the Education Professional Forum.
Mohd Azam said the activities featuring educational exhibition booths, interactive forums and Bicara Profesional sessions open to the public are being held at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK), Hikmah Exchange (HEC) and the Kuching Waterfront.
He added that the highlight, scheduled for this Friday, will include the presentation of 32 awards to teachers who have demonstrated excellence in innovation, creativity and teaching in remote, rural, and Orang Asli communities.
'These awards are a recognition of the dedication and commitment of educators who deliver quality education despite geographical and resource-related challenges. The initiative has also received commendation from the Chief Secretary to the Government during a recent meeting,' he said.
He said the main ceremony announcing the National Exemplary Teacher (Tokoh Guru Kebangsaan) and the Educational Leadership Icon (Tokoh Kepimpinan Pendidikan) will be held at BCCK, noting that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is expected to attend the event.

Ahmad Zahid: BN confident cooperation with PH will result in GE16 victory
Ahmad Zahid Hamidi gestures during his speech at the officiation of the Gopeng UMNO Division Delegates' Meeting today. – Bernama photo GOPENG (July 6): Barisan Nasional (BN) is confident that the cooperation with Pakatan Harapan (PH) can ensure that they retain the seats won in the last general election, its chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said. He said it was based on observations and results of the Mahkota and Ayer Kuning by-elections, and pointed out that BN had secured the Mahkota seat with a majority of 5,166 votes in the 15th general election (GE15), but managed to win with a majority of 20,648 votes in the by-election, thanks to the partnership with PH. 'The same with Ayer Kuning, during GE15, we won with a majority of 2,213 votes then when the by-election happened, we won with a majority of 5,006 votes. That's the type of increase we can see from the cooperation with PH,' he said during his speech at the officiation of the Gopeng Umno Division Delegates' Meeting here today, in the presence of Perak Umno chairman Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad and Gopeng Umno Division chief Datuk Hang Tuah Din. He said that the cooperation with PH should be a guide and reflection for leaders and the grassroots as the strategy is sound and suitable to retain existing power. 'We cannot be proud and arrogant and want to go solo. This is the current reality and in this way, we can also become dominant in the national political arena,' he said. Meanwhile, Saarani said Perak Umno will focus on attracting support from non-party members as its main strategy in maintaining BN's wins in GE16. – Bernama ahmad zahid hamidi barisan nasional general election politics
