World Teachers’ Day, commonly referred to as International Teachers Day, is a global holiday celebrated every year on October 5. The UNESCO/ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, a standard-setting document that covers the status and circumstances of teachers around the world, was signed in 1966. Its establishment in 1994 commemorates this event.
This suggestion lays forth requirements for personnel policies, hiring, and initial training as well as ongoing professional development for instructors, employment, and working conditions. The purpose of World Teachers’ Day is to raise awareness of teachers and teaching-related issues while focusing on “appreciating, evaluating, and enhancing the educators of the world.”
Origin of the World Teacher’s Day
This holiday commemorates the passage of the UNESCO Recommendation on Teachers’ Status from 1966. It establishes guidelines for teachers’ duties and rights with regard to basic training, continuing education, hiring, employment, and working conditions.
UNESCO’s message for 2020: We understand the crucial need of reinforcing the value of the teaching mission through the theme, “Young Teachers: The Future of the Profession. We urge governments to encourage young people to choose teaching as their first career. Above all, we honor the efforts of committed educators everywhere who work tirelessly to make “inclusive and equitable quality education” and the promotion of “lifelong learning opportunities for everyone” a reality in all parts of the world. On October 7, the official event will take place at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris.
Why we celebrate World Teacher’s Day
From young children to adults, teachers offer instruction in a wide range of subject areas. To be able to do their duties and continue to make a difference in the classroom, outside of it, and in their local communities, teachers need to have standards in place that will protect and watch out for them. It is hoped that through increasing knowledge of the value of teaching the present problems impacting teachers, the standard of education will rise.
Celebration of the World Teachers’ Day
On this day, students can express their gratitude and appreciation for their instructors in a variety of ways. It might be as easy as making a homemade present or writing a sincere letter to their favorite teacher expressing their gratitude for the positive impact they have had on their education and learning. Apples are a common present that has been given to teachers for a long time as a token of appreciation.
It is important to note that while the rest of the world observes World Teachers’ Day on October 5, it is celebrated a day later in Australia on the last Friday of the same month. Similar to how the US commemorates Teachers’ Day in May every year, certain nations, including India, also commemorate and acknowledge a day nationally. As a way to honor the former president Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was born on September 5, 1888, Teachers’ Day is observed in India on September 5.
