🍏 On this #WorldTeachersDay, let's celebrate the educators who inspire, motivate, and guide us toward a brighter future. Thank you for everything you do.
Children in a classroom sit around a table examining natural objects like rocks and shells. An educator guides them as they use magnifying glasses. An educator stands and speaks into a microphone in a well-lit classroom or lecture hall, engaging with a student seated in the front row. Three people are in a kitchen, with two wearing aprons and one wearing a black cap. They are gathered around a counter with cooking utensils, including a green cutting board with sliced vegetables, a bottle of olive oil, and pink oven mitts. A group of children are hugging an educator in a gymnasium.
