7he Department of (ducation designs curricula and formulates education programs, activities and policies. 6chool administra­tors implement these. 7eachers support the implementa­tion of these by per forming their duties. 3arents bring their children to school. 6tudents stay in school. $s you can see, each has a role to play«each has a responsibi­lity to fulfill«but whatever role or responsibi­lity one needs to manifest and satisfy, it leads to the attainment of a goal, that is, to give Tuality education to humanity. :ith all of these in mind, have you ever thought of what education can bring to us"

$ll of us want to have a decent life. :e wish to enMoy the best future we can have. :e liNe to live a life with great satisfacti­on. :e love to have the best properties and things we can possibly acTuire. %ut can we have all of these immediatel­y" 2f course we cannot. 7his is because we have to undergo processes that will shape us«our Nnowledge, our behaviour and our attitude towards life. :hen our sNills are well developed for undertaNin­gs and when our personalit­ies are well prepared for chal lenges, success will really be at hand. :hich allows us to e[perience these processes" ,t is education. (ducation opens a door of unlimited opportunit­ies in order for us to appreciate the life we ever dream. +owever, can education alone maNe these processes possible for all of us"

:ithout teachers, what education offers us will not liNely to happen. 7ry to imagine, who will facilitate the meaningful learning in the classroom, designed by education, to mold us into a productive citi]en of our country" :ho will guide us about the constantly radiating Nnowledge we need to acTuire and the consistent­ly blistering manner we need to learn, programmed by education, to achieve our dreams in life" :ho will burn the midnight oil to communicat­e to us what education wants to convey" :ith these Tuestions in mind, we can definitely say that the teachers are the ones responsibl­e for education to play its role.
