Teaching is a profession that requires lifelong learning.

Dear teachers,
Dear students,

Let's temporarily forget the unsatisfactory result of the match between Vietnam and Thailand yesterday. Let's temporarily forget the worries, fatigue, and hardships of everyday life, to enjoy together the moments of November 20 - the day to honor teachers. Let's congratulate the teachers with lots of joy, health, happiness and success, on the occasion of the 37th anniversary of Vietnamese Teachers' Day.

Principal Professor Pham Quang Minh and veteran teachers of the School 

It is not until November 20 that we show our gratitude to our teachers. The history of thousands of years of our nation has shown that teaching is a noble profession because the product of the teaching profession is people. If an engineer is happy to see the bridge he has just built, a farmer smiles at the rice field he has just planted, then a teacher is happy to see his students grow up and mature. However, to achieve that result, it is not only necessary to have a brain, but also a heart, because "you cannot plant trees in places lacking light, nor can you raise children with only a little enthusiasm". Therefore, "those who raise children are even more honored than parents because of their sacrifices for future generations". That is why teachers are also called "Soul Engineers". The silent sacrifice of the teaching profession is likened to candles because the candles will burn themselves to light the way for others to find their way. A true teacher is also a great artist. Teaching is the greatest art known to man because it is a union of reason and spirit. It would be wrong to think that teaching is just a matter of repeating the same lessons year after year, of finding ways to explain, persuade or prove. A great teacher must be someone who can inspire generations of students.

The Principal received a bouquet of flowers from the school's student representatives.

As teachers at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU, we have a special honor and responsibility. It is a tradition of more than 70 years, an honor to follow in the footsteps of our predecessors. It is an example for generations of students. It is a responsibility for the future of the country. It is a pride to represent Vietnam on the path of integration. We are living in the digital age, the 4.0 industrial revolution. But no matter what era it is, teachers are indispensable. Creativity, creativity and always being creative are not only a need, but also the most urgent requirement today. It is in today's modern society that teachers must learn even more. If you want to be a teacher, if you want to teach someone something, you must first learn - learn seriously and systematically, learn from your teachers and also learn from your students. Teaching is a profession that requires lifelong learning. Because as the great teacher Chu Van An once said: "I have never seen a country that has become prosperous without paying attention to learning". That is why on this November 20th, we not only talk about teaching, but also about learning, of both students and teachers. Wishing all teachers a day full of love and pride.

Thank you very much.
