Above all, teachers help students exit the classroom by showing respect for themselves and others. They know their students will help shape the world, and they have a remarkable impact on that world, every day, in the classroom. “The theme of this year, Teach in freedom, empower teachers, highlights the important role teachers play in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

We have also made investments in child care services, particularly in the training and support of early childhood educators. Last year, we also created a tax credit for teachers and early childhood educators, which is important support in helping their students succeed. Thanks to our feminist international aid policy, we help women and girls around the world gain equal educational opportunities. We are also investing in Canadian schools and in aboriginal education across the country. “I am very proud to have been a teacher, and I have immense respect for the work teachers do every day. This is why I am very happy to open the nomination period for Premier's Awards for Teaching Excellence and for Excellence in Early Childhood Education of this year.
