Faced with the requirements of this year's exam, the Department Director also hopes that teachers must constantly innovate and be creative in the teaching and learning process.

A good teacher does not have to teach profound things. Instead, it is important to make students love learning. If students do not love learning, the fault lies primarily with the teacher.
