01 - Good morning
02 - Good afternoon
03 - Good evening
04 - Please
05 - With your permission
06 - Sorry
07 - Forgive me
08 - Thank you very much

10 - I was wrong
It's *AT HOME* that we also learn to:
01 - Be honest
02 - Be punctual
03 - Do not insult
04 - Be polite
05 - Respect everyone: friends, colleagues, elders, teachers, authorities
Still *at home* we learn to:
01 - Eat everything
02 - Do not talk with your mouth full
03 - Have personal hygiene
04 - Don't throw litter on the ground
05 - Help parents with their daily chores
06 - Don't take what doesn't belong to you
07 - Be content with what you have
08 - Work honestly to earn a living
09 - Dress with modesty
*At home* we still learn to:
01 - Get organized
02 - Take care of your belongings
03 - Do not touch other people's belongings
0 4 - Respect the rules,
05 - Speak your mother tongue(s), master your culture and spiritual life
Because *AT SCHOOL* teachers should teach: Mathematics, English, History, Geography, Science, Chemistry, Physics ,Biology Philosophy Sociology , Physical education ,Art... etc. And only reinforce what the student has learned *AT HOME*!!! Because it is *AT HOME* that the individual will learn respect and therefore be respected.

Students Begin Term 1 on 19 January 2021

The Ministry of Education, Heritage and Arts wish to inform teachers, students and parents of the Term Dates for the 2021 Academic Year.

Teachers are required to commence work on the 18 January 2021 and prepare their classrooms and teaching materials for Term 1. All students are expected to start school on Tuesday 19 January 2021.

Hon. Minister Akbar says, “There are lots of speculation on social media regarding the 2021 Term dates and we urge parents to refer to the Ministry’s website for correct information and listen to the media updates. Those circulating incorrect information do not realize the panic they create especially at a time when we are working hard to ensure we keep our students and parents well informed of our decisions”.

We urge students and parents to contact the Ministry and seek immediate clarification on such matters. We encourage students to prepare themselves for the 2021 academic year and enjoy the remaining days of their school break to refresh and refocus on their academic goals.

The Ministry once again reminds parents and students in the TC Yasa affected areas, that they will be assisted with school bags and supplies this academic year. Parents are urged not to panic into buying school bags and stationery for their children. The Ministry will continue to assist students in affected areas needing support this year.

Kalougata tiko na yabaki vou 2021

I suspect it is hard to love a Teacher. They get up early and don't have time to drink coffee over the newspaper. They come home late and are too tired to cook. They work extra because they know there are students who need them. They don't get too excited over a minor crisis because they deal with issues all day. They have seen far worst cases. They don't want to talk when they come home for they have talked all day. They don't want to move when they come home for they have moved all day. It may seem, that they have left all their caring, their heart, and love at work, then come home feeling empty. They probably are empty but they don't tell you that many times at work they are scared. Scared they are missing something. Scared they will let their students down. They have to deal with angry parents and all the while do their best to help them. They don't tell you how the trauma they see affects them, and how stressed they are for the pain their students are going through. I am a teacher, and there are some days (a lot) when it's the hardest work I have ever done... is to teach .
Thus, I would like to thank those of you out there who love, support, encourage and let us do this work, this calling, this life: TEACHING.

Enjoy your holidays teachers. ....stay safe and God bless
