Calling the teachers to imbibe technology in imparting education, President Pranab Mukherjee on Monday said they should instill in children civilisational values of sacrifice, tolerance, pluralism, understanding and compassion. Greeting the teachers on the occasion of Teachers’ Day, Mukherjee, who started his career as a teacher, said this is an occasion when “we recognise the dedicated services of the teachers of our nation”. In a series of messages on twitter, Mukherjee said a sound education system is the bedrock of an enlightened society. “Inspired teachers are the building blocks of a good education system. An inspired teacher links the individual goals of the students to the societal and national goals,” he said in the message.
