UMPO.AC.ID - Amid the ever-evolving landscape of education, one truth remains steadfast: the role of teachers as guides of civilization. They are present not merely as instructors, but as beacons of light—illuminating the path, shaping character, and igniting hope in the hearts of every generation. In this moment of profound meaning, the Rector of Universitas Muhammadiyah Ponorogo (UMPO), Dr. Rido Kurnianto, M.Ag., expressed deep appreciation for the sincerity and dedication of teachers whose devotion has become a driving force behind the nation’s progress.
“Teachers are figures who not only educate but also nurture the soul. Through their hands, generations of noble, resilient, and visionary individuals are born,” he stated.
He then presented a reflective message titled “MY TEACHER” as UMPO’s tribute to all educators:
MY TEACHER
The breadth of your heart has brought forth a thousand moments of peace
The sincerity of your love has shaped individuals of noble character
The fire of your spirit has forged a strong and enduring generation
Your hidden prayers have brought a thousand dreams into reality
Thank you, my Teacher
May Allah’s Paradise await you
The Rector emphasized UMPO’s ongoing commitment to cultivating an environment that supports the continuous development of educators through competency enhancement, academic collaboration, and sustainable learning innovation.
Carrying the national theme “Great Teachers, Strong Indonesia,” UMPO calls upon the academic community and the wider public to emulate the dedication of teachers and draw inspiration from their unwavering role in shaping the nation’s future.
HAPPY NATIONAL TEACHER’S DAY 2025
Thank you to all teachers—the tireless lights who continue to illuminate our journey.
