World Teachers’ Day
World Teachers’ Day
“Universities are full of knowledge; the freshmen bring a little in and the seniors take none away, and knowledge accumulates.”- Abbott Lawrence Lowell
Education is “one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought.” - Bertrand Russell
Colleges are “places where pebbles are polished and diamonds are dimmed.” - Robert G. Ingersoll
“I never have let my schooling interfere with my education.”- Mark Twain
“He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches.” -George Bernard Shaw
“Teachers determine our collective ability to innovate, invent and to find solutions for tomorrow. Nothing will ever replace a good teacher. Nothing is more important than supporting teachers”.
Teachers’ Day is intended to be special day for the appreciation of teachers. UNESCO inaugurated October 5th as World Teachers’ Day in 1994. According to UNESCO, World Teachers' Day represents a significant token of the awareness, understanding and appreciation displayed for the vital contribution that teachers make to education and development. Education International strongly believes that this Teachers' Day should be internationally recognized and celebrated around the world.
This international day is an opportunity to highlight the challenges facing the teaching profession. It is essential to give this day as much visibility and impact as possible, at institutional and political level and the general public. As such, it is extremely important that events be organized in all countries to celebrate teachers on 5 October!
World Teachers’ Day is on October the 5th every year. It is a very special day and every student should make a note of it in his or her diary. And then they should put it on their calendar, computer and iPhone. It celebrates some of the world’s most important and underpaid people-teachers. Without teachers, no one would learn anything. Because of this, all students should prepare a special gift to give to their favorite teacher on this day. Nothing too big, perhaps an iPod or a voucher for a spa and massage. This day has only been going since 1994. Its aim is to get people to support all teachers around the world. It also aims to promote the wonderful profession of teaching for all wannabe teachers.
More than 100 countries observe this day. The teaching profession is changing rapidly. There are good things; technology means teachers have more tools to use inside and outside of the classroom. There are also bad things; in many countries, children have lost respect for teachers and so never listen to them. It is important on this day to remember that teachers are there for one reason-to educate people to give them the chance of a better future. Be nice to your teachers on World Teachers’ Day.
