\nA teacher also imparts lessons in ethics and morals and serves as an important role model for children therefore they must be appreciated and respected while teachers should also realise their importance and responsibilities.
\nTeachers must be provided better facilities and incentives to continue doing so for the development of our nation, he demanded.
\nHe informed that Sultana foundation will observe the year 2017 as teacher\u2019s year and disseminate material among the policy makers and media sensitizing them about the respect and role of a teacher in the nation building.
