World Teacher's Day

Premier Darrell Dexter and Education Ramona Jennex honoured the province's 10-thousand teachers, including community college, and Atlantic Province's Special Education Authority teachers, today (October 5th). Premier Dexter says World Teachers' Day is an opportunity for Nova Scotians to say thank you for the work teachers do educating students. He says teachers are owed thanks and appreciation every day of the year. World Teachers' Day is celebrated annually to highlight the important role of teachers. The theme for 2011 is teachers for Gender Equity.
