Malaysia's Teacher's Day 2015 theme announced

This year's Teacher's Day celebration theme is Teachers: Developing Knowledge, Perfecting Morals.

May 16 of every year was chosen to celebrate Teacher's Day in Malaysia because on the same date in 1956, the Law Council of the Federation of Malaya (Federal Legislative Council) accepted the recommendations from Report Of The Education Committee as our national education policy. The document known as the Razak Report, has been the basis of our National Education Policy ever since.

A teacher's role is not limited to presenting the syllabus in classrooms, as teachers need to be creative and innovative in developing knowledge. A teacher's role is also to nurture holistic individuals who are knowledgeable and hold strong morals.
