Port city honours teachers for excellence in education

Visakhapatnam: Teachers' Day is marked as a day for expressing gratitude and respect to all the selfless efforts made by the teachers. Interestingly, the students in the Port City started prepping for this day from a week ahead.

However, in few schools, the senior grade students took up the role of teachers and lectured the first two periods, so that the teacher could have a good leisure time with their staff.

While, some schools in the city planed a surprise to their teachers with classroom decoration, games and other cultural dance performance for the teachers. Teachers were rewarded with warm gesture and gifts.
