The impact teachers make on their students extends beyond the classroom. Teachers put in tremendous effort to understand their students and cater for them wholeheartedly. They take much care in moulding the character of their students, thereby helping them grow into compassionate and socially responsible individuals.
Being the custom of the director of Al-Qurraa School to always make his teachers feel special and valued, the annual World Teachers’ Day is usually celebrated in a grand style and this year’s teachers’ day was no exception.
It is his belief that teachers deserve a worthy life so every stakeholders should accord them that right.
As a pace setter, Al-Qurraa School leads in this regard by providing incentives, welfare packages salary upgrade, scholarship for staff’s children and beautiful treat for her teachers (both teaching and non-teaching staff).
Below are some of the highlights of this year’s Teachers’Day event at Al-Qurraa:
A beautifully decorated hall with an awe-inspiring captions singing the praises of teachers. An in-house party with ravishing presentation from students to show their love and appreciation for their teachers, puzzle and quiz competitions where winners received cash prize, a sumptuous food packages for all.
Afterwards, special appreciation by the director and some of the parents who graced the occasion. As usual, an appreciation letter personally written by the director to each married staff to be given to their spouses for being the pillar of support to them which in turn makes them to discharge their duties excellently.
A good turn they say, deserves another. It’s in lieu of this that the teachers presented an award of excellence to the director, Imam AbdulHafeez Ariremako. In his statement, Imam AbdulHafeez said, “and they kept me unawares until that day. I was just looking for ways to make my staff (teachers) happy with surprises not knowing they would do the same for me. It was a surprise and worth more than gold. BaarakalLaahu feekum!”

To crown it all, the teachers were later taken out for shopping at the popular Palm Mall ShopRite. It was an overwhelming experience for the staff.
The principal of the school, Mr Alaka remarked on what he termed the ‘peak of the event’. Imagine sponsoring more than 30 teachers to a shopping galore at The Palms Mall, Ringroad Ibadan, all the way from Ologuneru, Ibadan.
Vice Principal Mrs. Ibrahim also voiced her thoughts, saying, “while I celebrate myself, I can not but celebrate an exemplary educationist, an outstanding leader and a hope giver.
“I honestly was only teaching for heavenly reward, until this man came into the picture and changed the narrative. He proved it beyond every reasonable doubt that there’s light at the end of tunnel for teachers. According to him, teachers are also meant to live a comfortable life just like every other professionals do.
“His magnanimity is second to none. I bet if the world had more people like him, it would have been a better place.
“I pray Allah to continue to bless the director of Al-Qurraa School upon goodness and uplift Al-Qurraa to an internationally recognized status.”
A teacher, Mr. Ajala responded by saying, “one of the best of the day of my life was yesterday… The joy of being a teacher overwhelmed me… Thanks to Al-Qurraa’ management. Yesterday’s event marks the special day of my life… I’m proud to be a blessed teacher especially in Al-Qurraa’ School.”
“I was also happy to receive the huge shopping package my husband brought from shopping at this year’s edition of teachers day celebration of the school. My prayer is that Allah replenish your pocket in manifolds. May He also grant your heart desires,”Mrs. Adeshokan Tawakalt, wife of the principal, added.
