President Dr Mohamed Waheed has today said it is imperative teachers and school management are teaching students “good conduct” like respecting their elders, while expressing the importance of education to national development.
Speaking to mark the occasion of Teachers’ Day, the president said instilling good values in children was hugely important to a country that is “undergoing transformation” like the Maldives, with schools playing a key role in strengthening the social fabric of the nation.
According to the President’s Office website, Dr Waheed also highlighted a need nationally for skilled and informed teachers, as well as providing them with professional development activities.
Relevant institutions were therefore asked to help assist with producing quality, skilled teachers, with the most important consideration being that young people are taught “good discipline based on Islam”.

Like blind obedience, a ban on critical thinking, and state-approved propaganda as it was in the Maumoon regime?
Waheed should be executed.
How about those in power leading by example instead of showing corruption and greed as being an acceptable way of life when you have money and power.
What about spying on fellow students and reporting to the Head Master so that they will be punished and the reporter, just like Waheed did in school, will benefit not only by being a good Head Master's boy!
Produce more spy! Nake one among two students, a spy!
This will be a more productive scheme towards maintaining the power that was stolen!
"with the most important consideration being that young people are taught “good discipline based on Islam”."
What a joke! This guy preaching Islam!
And by the way, Islam does not allow coup against leader of the nation!
Waheed took part in the coup of 7th February, 2012!
And the penalty for treachery in Islam and in many countries, is death!
