The importance of teachers can be understood by the quote of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) where he said that “I have been sent only as a teacher to you”. The Prophet reached the hearts and minds of people through educational activities. The role of a teacher/ educator in the society is both significant and valuable.
Association of Muslim Professionals, a Mumbai based knowledge sharing platform, appreciated the role of teachers and educators in the field of Education and extraordinary part they play in the lives of students during their formative years of development. It further recognized their outstanding services and invaluable contribution to the student’s life in particular and the Society at large.
In its board meeting on September 5, 2017, AMP decided to undertake an unprecedented initiative to appreciate the services of such teachers across the country. The organization has selected 79 individuals at the National level and presenting them with the AMP Award, a small token in recognition of their outstanding services in the field of Education and invaluable Contribution to the Society at large.
Aamir Edresy, president at AMP said, “I extend my warm greetings and felicitations to all the teachers, particularly those who have been selected and appreciated by AMP in recognition of their outstanding services in the field of Education and invaluable Contribution to the Society at large.”
While giving his message to teachers he said, “Today, in the modern world, it is all the more necessary that our children understand the human values of love, respect, and tolerance, which are essential for a peaceful world. It is, therefore, vital that teachers emphasize the importance of these values. Students should be made to think in terms of the welfare of humankind and progress of the nation”.
Razak Shaikh, core team member and head at AMP Employment Assistance Cell speaking about the future plans of AMP, emphasized on the need of connecting these teachers in a formal network on the national level so that they can share their experiences and learn from each other.
Najeeb Syed, AMP general secretary said that the partnerships and collaborations are the mantras for future. He said, “We have decided to partner with Teachers Association, Colleges, Schools and other Educational Institutions across India to execute our projects.”
