A teacher from the remote mountain village of Baliton in Lankaran district, Chinara, has started the new academic year by renovating her classroom at her own expense.
According to “Tehsil365,” her initiative has attracted great interest and admiration both at the school and on social media.
Her action is valued not only as a financial contribution but also as a moral investment.
“One of my 10th-grade students looked around the classroom and said, ‘Teacher, I wish I could study in this class—it makes you want to learn.’ Those words made me realize how important the learning environment is for students,” Chinara said.
“I had been thinking about repairing the classroom since last year, but due to some small problems, I couldn’t make it happen. However, I had promised my students that the following year I would present them with a different classroom. As a teacher, it is important for me to keep my word to my students because trust must not be broken.
“I have been working as a teacher for two years now. I have loved this profession since childhood and have always imagined myself as a teacher. I love my job and try my best to support my students.
“As you know, we live in a remote mountain village where the conditions are not good. Even when I was a student, teachers who came to our school often left quickly because of the difficulties. But I always promised myself that as soon as I finished my education, I would return to my home village to help those who want to study here,” the teacher added.
