Opening Speech

Mrs. Barbara Hewitt, British council Director, ladies & Gentlemen. Directors of Official & private Schools.Teachers of English Language . Dear parents and winners .

 

   On behalf of ATEL higher committee, it is my great pleasure to welcome you today to the Award Ceremony of the reading competition that was held the previous year among around 50   schools all over Lebanon .The aim of this competition is to encourage students to go back to the usage of books in order to explore the ultimate pleasure that lies within the covers of the books . Another important aim is to encourage students to use imagination and creativity as effective tools for educational production . The result was very fruitful , since most of the chosen pieces were full of very creative ideas. The master pieces  were done by the two first winners who created a work that has gone beyond the limits of the ordinary .All this achievement wouldn’t have existed without the support and cooperation of Libraire du Liban and without the wide participation of all schools represented by the English teachers . Big thanks to all hoping to keep walking on the right track of success . A big bunch of thanks to the winners ,you are adding more beauty to the world of education ,feel proud you are pushing your schools’ to the highest ranks . In few words the harvest is very rich and fruitful and the most precious thing is  that we are all here from all the different regions of Lebanon .The real beauty is here , being together sharing unforgettable moments . This is our country a real place for joining people together . ATEL is doing the best to make a remarkable difference in the domain of education .We are doing our best to apply a very famous saying ( plan your work , and work your plan )  . One part of our plan is launching a series of regional workshops in all districts in which teachers will be able to get new applicable ideas . The journey will never stop in spite of the obstacles on our path , we will keep walking . Another time I am going to use another famous saying ( If you believe in your heart that you are right , fight with all your might to do it your way . Only dead fish swim with the stream . 

 

   In the end celebrating such ceremonies will tighten our relation and will give more enthusiasm and encouragement to achieve better results .
