On the occasion, Dereje Andargie/PhD/, DBU president representative, said that without inclusive, quality and lifelong learning teachers, one cannot ensure inclusive and equitable quality education, and produce sustainable society. Attracting talented young teachers to the teaching profession cannot be a business we leave for tomorrow; rather it is a business we have to do now with urgency and the sense of no time. He added that Universities in Ethiopia have been rocked by lack of stability and peace which resulted in loss of human life, academic time and damaging public properties. To alleviate such problems, teachers are the most responsible persons who are in favor of peace and security.
