Teachers' Appreciation Day
|
The Fifth Annual Teachers’ Appreciation Ceremony 2008, an event by the Department of Education, was held at the Campus B Auditorium on August 29. Two of the distinctive features were a new group of Anguillians entering the teaching profession for the first time and among them an increased number of male teachers but still heavily outnumbered by their female counterparts.
