Sample farewell speech for a teacher by colleagues, teachers, principals, and students of the school, college, and university at the time of resignation or retirement.

Farewell Speech for a Teacher on Retirement

Today I stand here to tell everyone a story about a great man. A great man who severed our institute for more than thirteen years. He has made great contributions to our institute. His students are only known by his name. He keeps excellent skills not only in his own subject but also in other fields. The morality and honesty he possesses are found in very few persons.

He is a man of honor. And the person is Mr. James Kin. He had done his master’s in management accounting from our institute, after which he became an assistant professor of the accounting subject. Based on the results, he was then made the senior lecturer of management accounting.

During this era, he also completed his Ph.D. in management accounting and was then made the department head. Today he is going to retire. This is a very hard moment for all of your students and colleagues.

Today we give farewell to Mr. James. Sir, we wish you a very happy life. Further, we promise that the light of education which you have made in our hearts would be spread all over the world. Now your dreams are our dreams. This institute will never forget your contributions to its progress.

Thank you all.
