Elias Jabbour argued that valuing teachers was essential to national development, citing China, Japan, and Finland as examples. According to him, China began to build in classrooms the path that led it to compete today at the technological frontier. Jabbour stated that there would be no national development project, sovereignty, or reindustrialization without valued teachers. A professor at UERJ, he noted that he had seen the university endure years of overdue salaries. For him, this valuation required a decent salary, a solid career, guaranteed rights, and protection of public education against commercialization. He added that the defense of teachers would be one of his fronts in Brasília and wished a happy Teachers' Day. #Educação #ValorizaçãoDoProfessor #InvestimentoNoFuturo (translated)
