Prime Minister Vladimir Putin congratulates teachers on their professional holiday, Teachers’ Day

The message reads, in part:
"Teaching has always been highly valued in our country. Today, Russia is proud of its teachers, the talented, goal-oriented, creative people, who see their jobs as their calling and their lifework. Your wisdom, experience and a responsible attitude will determine the knowledge and moral guidelines for the younger generation.
I am sure that you will be faithful to the great traditions of Russian education and continue to perform your selfless mission."
