Starchild: Why Malaysian kids think the world of their teachers


Asher Wang Qi Chuen, 5

Teachers Day is celebrated in many countries around the world to honour and appreciate teachers’ hard work and dedication. In Malaysia, it is celebrated annually on May 16.

Teachers play a vital role in shaping the minds and even the future of their students. They impart knowledge and act as role models, mentors, and guides to help students develop essential skills and values. In addition, teachers work tirelessly to create a nurturing environment where students learn, grow, and thrive.
