    Date of celebration:

    World Teachers’ Day is celebrated every year on October 5. This day is observed to recognize the rights and responsibilities of teachers and to focus on appreciating, accessing and improving the educators of the world.

     

    History and significance:

    The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared October to be World Teacher’s Day in 1994. The day marks the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO recommendation conference convened by UNESCO in cooperation with the ILO, in Paris.

    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.

    This adoption was followed by the adoption of the UNESCO recommendation concerning the status of Higher Education Personnel by the UNESCO General Conference in 1997.

    These recommendations are considered an important set of guidelines to promote teachers’ status in the interest of quality education.

    World Teachers’ Day is celebrated to mark progress and reflect on ways to counter the challenges of teaching professionals.
