NATIONAL Parents Teachers Association (NPTA) president Walter Stewart is calling for greater collaboration between home and the classroom as he celebrated World Teachers’ Day, on October 5.

Stewart said the day provided much-needed recognition of teachers and their role in nurturing potential and building the foundation of society, and the success of every child depends on a meaningful partnership between home, school, parents and teachers.

“The World Teacher’s Day 2025 theme, Recasting Teaching as a Collaborative Profession, speaks to teachers not operating in silos, not operating independently, not isolating but rather having a shared mission, ideology, principle and objective, working cohesively and concurrently with all stakeholders to achieve student success.
