WORLD TEACHERS DAY

 







World Teachers’ Day is celebrated every year on October 5 to recognize the rights and responsibilities of teachers and educators across the globe. Undoubtedly, teachers are great friends and philosophers who guide us through the thick and thin in life. This day is to honour, support, recognise and celebrate the country's educators.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared 5 October to be World Teachers’ Day in 1994 and since then, this day is celebrated annually on October 5 across countries. This day commemorates the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers. Interestingly, it was adopted in a special intergovernmental conference convened by UNESCO in collaboration with the ILO, in Paris.

According to the official website of UNESCO, “This recommendation sets forth the rights and responsibilities of teachers as well as international standards for their initial preparation and further education, recruitment, employment, teaching and learning conditions.”

World Teachers' Day aims at appreciating, assessing and improving the condition of educators across the world. Also, this day is seen as an opportunity to consider and address issues related to teachers and teaching. To celebrate World Teachers' Day, the UNESCO and Education International (EI) holds a campaign every year focused on different themes to provide a better understanding of teachers and their profession as they play an important role in the development of students and society.
