يشهد قطاع التعليم في بلادنا جملة إجراءات تصحيحية وتطويرية تسعى وزارة التعليم بها إلى تحقيق تطلعات القيادة الرشيدة للوصول بالتعليم إلى مخرجات متميزة تنافس العالم من خلال «رؤية 2030»، إضافة لتلبية احتياجات سوق العمل.
قبل بداية العام الدراسي الحالي؛ سلَّط وزير التعليم في المؤتمر الصحفي الحكومي الرابع والعشرين (13 أغسطس الماضي) على رحلة التحوُّل والتطوير في منظومة التعليم، منها الركن الأساس (المعلم)، إذ أكد أن الوزارة تعمل على تعزيز دور المعلم مهنياً، وتفعيل دور المعهد الوطني للتطوير المهني التعليمي ليكون رافداً رئيسياً لبرامج تطوير المعلم، وأن الوزارة استحدثت صندوقاً اجتماعياً لمنسوبيها وعلى رأسهم المعلمون والمعلمات.
إن المتتبع لرحلة تطور دور المعلم في المنظومة التعليمية يجد أنه لم يعد مجرد ناقل للمعرفة، بل يتخطى ذلك كقائد مُلهِم ومُيسِر لبناء أجيال قادرة على الإبداع والابتكار ومواجهة تحديات المستقبل، ولكني أرى ضوءه بدأ يتخافت عند بعضهم مع كثرة القرارات والإجراءات.
المعلم الشغوف المحب لمهنته تجده أكثر قدرة على مواكبة التغيرات وتذليل الصعوبات واستثمار المقدرات، وتجده أكثر ولاءً وعطاءً، وهو من يجعل قاعة الدرس بيئة حية بالنقاشات والحوارات والتجارب، فالشغف بمهنة التعليم لهو الوقود الذي يدفع المعلم لبذل أقصى جهد لنشر العلم والمعرفة بحب وإخلاص وتفان.
بوح القوافي:
كفى بالعلمِ في الظلمات نورا
يُبيّن في الحياة لنا الأمورا
فكم وجد الذليل به اعتزازا
وكم لبِس الحزين به سرورا

The education sector in our country is witnessing a series of corrective and developmental measures that the Ministry of Education aims to achieve in line with the aspirations of the wise leadership to elevate education to outstanding outputs that compete globally through "Vision 2030," in addition to meeting the needs of the labor market.
Before the start of the current academic year, the Minister of Education highlighted, during the twenty-fourth government press conference (on August 13), the journey of transformation and development in the education system, particularly focusing on the fundamental pillar (the teacher). He emphasized that the ministry is working to enhance the professional role of teachers and activate the role of the National Institute for Professional Educational Development to be a mainstay for teacher development programs. The ministry has also established a social fund for its employees, primarily for teachers.
Those who follow the evolution of the teacher's role in the educational system find that they are no longer just transmitters of knowledge; they have transcended that to become inspiring leaders and facilitators in building generations capable of creativity, innovation, and facing future challenges. However, I see that this light has begun to dim for some of them with the abundance of decisions and procedures.
A passionate teacher who loves their profession is more capable of keeping up with changes, overcoming difficulties, and utilizing resources. They are more loyal and giving, and they are the ones who make the classroom a vibrant environment filled with discussions, dialogues, and experiences. Passion for the teaching profession is indeed the fuel that drives the teacher to exert their utmost effort to spread knowledge and learning with love, sincerity, and dedication.
Whispers of verses:
Knowledge is enough as a light in the darkness
It clarifies matters for us in life
How many a humble person found pride in it
And how many a sad person found joy in it
