Exemplary na­tions like South Korea, Singapore, and Finland provide insights into societies that highly value teach­ers. In acknowledgment of teach­ers’ significance in forging a bright future, South Korea and Singapore heavily invest in professional de­velopment, competitive pay, and robust teacher training. Financial rec­ognition enables teachers to fo­cus on the welfare and education of their students, alleviating con­cerns about their livelihood. It is crucial to address global challenges faced by teachers, both in terms of recogni­tion and compensation. By cultivating a culture that appreciates and invests in teach­ers, we can collectively contribute to a more enlightened and pros­perous global future.
