This feels like such an odd article. The title reads at once like a tautology and in a difference sense granting exclusive agency to teachers. It references the 2023 GEM Report but nowhere in the 547 page document do we find the quote from Chinese Vice Minister of Education Wu Yan to the effect that "even the most advanced technology cannot replace teachers' warm encouraging teaching method." It's nowhere in the article either; the pull-quote appears from nowhere. I'm also led to question the existence, in most cases, of a "teachers' warm encouraging teaching method." It certainly wasn't my experience! I get that the article is celebrating World Teachers' Day, and we certainly appreciate the contributions teachers have made, but let's not overstate them.
