We were truly inspired by this story of Mrs Chong, who went beyond the call of her duty and inspired and supported her student to go after his dreams. 

We know there are many more Mrs Chong-like stories out there, we welcome each and every one of them because all those teachers deserve to be celebrated. 

Teachers are mentors and role models to their pupils. They influence young minds and inculcate sound social and moral values through word and deed, within and outside the classroom. They must impart to pupils learning skills, thinking skills and life skills to cope with the future; an attitude of continuous learning and improvement; and a sense of commitment and belonging
