The Teachers’ Day in Singapore is on the 6th of September this year. In China, since 1985, Teachers’ Day is on the 10th of September each year. Distinguished Chinese essayist and philosopher HAN Yu (韩愈) from the Tang dynasty explained the roles of a teacher in only six Chinese character, in his famous essay, “On the Teacher”（师说).

The roles of a teacher by HAN Yu, in my translation, are to

• Guide students, show them the direction (传道, literally, spread the ‘Tao’).
• Impart knowledge to students, to improve their abilities. (授业)
• Resolve the students’ doubts. (解惑)
