As teachers, you have a unique and powerful influence over the next generation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour role goes beyond classroom instruction; you are custodians of intellectual integrity and models for the respect of ideas, innovations, and creative works.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy modelling respect for intellectual property and teaching students to value originality, you instil values that will shape a society where creativity is protected, rewarded, and sustained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPiracy may seem like a \u2018quick fix\u2019 for access to materials, but its long-term effects are deeply damaging. It discourages authors, publishers, and innovators, erodes the quality of educational resources, and weakens the creative economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He assured that the NCC would continue its enforcement operations to eliminate piracy across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCC said piracy deprives authors, musicians, and innovators of income, leading to circulation of substandard creative and educational materials.
