The leader noted that teachers not only impart knowledge and skills to students but also contribute to helping students develop their personalities.

Via teaching, teachers need to sow good virtues in their students and equip them with necessary attitudes and career capacity to become useful citizens, he said.

Each teacher should be a bright example in terms of ethics, self-study and creativity, helping his students to develop right sentiments, attitudes and behaviors in their interaction with society and nature, he said.
