On World Teacher’s Day, UNESCO and Education International (EI) campaigns give the world a better understanding of teachers. They stress the important role that teachers play in developing societies. Events in more than 100 countries are held to celebrate teachers. Many schools host celebratory breakfasts or special assemblies to show appreciation for teachers.
To observe World Teacher’s Day, the best thing you can do is thank a teacher who made a positive impact on your life. Praise your children’s teachers, as well. If you know a teacher, give them a gift card or take them out for lunch.
If you’re a student, be sure to thank your teachers for all they do to help you get a good education. Students probably don’t bring their teachers apples anymore, but they probably would accept coffee or chocolate! Use #WorldTeachersDay and post photos of your favorite teacher on social media.
UNESCO proclaimed October 5 to be World Teachers’ Day in 1994. They chose October 5th because it was on this date in 1966 when a significant step was made for teachers in 1966. A special intergovernmental conference in Paris adopted the UNESCO/ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers. The Recommendation sets benchmarks regarding teachers’ rights. It also sets standards for teacher training, employment, and teaching and learning conditions.
This year marks the 28th anniversary of World Teachers’ Day and the theme is “The Transformation of Education Begins with Teachers”. It is observed all over the world over since 1994 after the UNESCO Recommendation concerning Teachers.
