ZHUBANOV TALK

There will be a more positive change if there are more morally motivated educators. I emphasize the importance of teachers since they can affect not only students but also parents. Teachers may encourage and inspire their students, as well as transform them for the better by teaching. As a result, the pupils will develop a moral attitude and can handle obstacles in their path. Indeed, their teachers bring up all presidents, lawyers, doctors, and other professionals in various disciplines. The teacher could positively impact challenges such as the fight against racism, equity and discrimination among students, bullying in schools, and support for pursuing students’ success. Thus, in my capacity as a teacher and a change agent, I made the decision to form the Zhubanov Talk club, a place for students to voice their ideas and concerns. In this club, I can stimulate and instruct the students to present their points of view, share their opinions, and make a call to action. It is a setting where ambitious students can develop their communication and public speaking abilities.
