Teachers are builders of Society, says Kalam

New Delhi: It was an occasion for President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam to take on his favourite role as a teacher at the National Award to Teachers 2005 function here on Tuesday. Sharing his childhood experiences and the teachers who left a mark on his life, Mr. Kalam also administered a 10-point oath to the award-winning teachers so that they could complete their "mission" of nation building.

Asserting that teachers have to realize that they are the builders of society, Mr. Kalam said society could be built only when students are made proficient in studies and become enlightened citizens. It was important to instil values in children at the primary and secondary school level, as it was not easy to do so after they are 17, he added.
