Secretary for Education Eddie Ng officiated at the "Salute to Teachers 2016 - Teachers' Day & Commendation Certificate Presentation Ceremony" today in honour of 1,300 teachers for their dedication.
Mr Ng said Hong Kong students' remarkable achievements in a variety of international competitions was largely due to the innovation, hard work and selfless dedication of teachers in nurturing talent.
The Teachers' Commendation Scheme, organised by the Committee on Respect Our Teachers Campaign in its 21st year, has so far given commendations to 26,000 teachers.
