The Deanship of the College of Education, represented by Assistant Professor Dr. Ahmed Roudhan Salman, and under the supervision of the Head of the Psychological Counseling and Educational Guidance Unit, Professor Dr. Thanaa Bahaa Al-Din Abdullah, celebrated the Global Day of Parents on June 1, 2026, a significant international occasion. This day brings people around the world together to appreciate the vital role that parents play in our lives. The Global Day of Parents is an annual observance proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 to honor all parents worldwide and recognize their dedication and immense sacrifices made throughout their lives for the well-being of their children. The family is the fundamental building block of any society and bears the primary responsibility for nurturing, protecting, and preparing children to become productive members of their communities. Parents are a child’s first teachers; they instill values and morals while providing security, love, and stability. Raising children is one of the most valuable responsibilities, and families often need support to fulfill this mission successfully. This celebration is important for several reasons: Giving Back: It is an opportunity to express our gratitude to our mothers and fathers for their endless love, care, and sacrifices. Raising Community Awareness: It highlights that supporting parents is not a luxury but a genuine investment in a more stable future. Strengthening Family Bonds: It encourages families to come closer together and create a home environment based on love and mutual understanding, especially in an age filled with numerous commitments and distractions. Parenting is a great responsibility that cannot be carried out by parents alone. They need the support of society as a whole to provide children with a strong and healthy start in life. The essence of this celebration lies in appreciating parents by dedicating meaningful time to them, expressing love and gratitude through sincere words, and offering help and support, especially when they reach an advanced stage of life. In conclusion, the Global Day of Parents is not merely an ordinary occasion; it is a global message that investing in the family is an investment in the future of humanity. Let us make this day an opportunity to renew our love, respect, and appreciation for the two most important people in our lives: our father and mother. #College_of_Education #Al_Mustaqbal_University
