Celebrating the teachers who are molding our future in every classroom, every day, on October 5.
World Teachers' Day honors the essential contribution of teachers in shaping society by providing education, guidance, and promoting lifelong learning.
Teaching isn't just about lessons and textbooks — it's about inspiring minds, building confidence, and shaping the next generation.
This day commemorates the ILO/UNESCO Recommendation of 1966, which set global standards for teachers' rights, training, and working conditions.
In 1997, the scope expanded to include higher education teachers, ensuring fair treatment and recognition for educators at all levels.
World Teachers’ Day was officially established in 1994 and has grown into a global event celebrated in over 100 countries.
Educators frequently encounter challenges such as inadequate salaries, overcrowded classrooms, insufficient resources, and policy shortcomings. Despite these obstacles, they persist with dedication and determination.
This year's theme by UNESCO is: "The teachers we need for the education we want: The global imperative to reverse the teacher shortage."Collaboration is at the core of solutions.
Some educators changed the world: Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, India's second President and philosopher; Savitribai Phule, India's first female teacher and a pioneer for girls' education; Anne Sullivan, who taught Helen Keller to communicate; and Chanakya, the ancient scholar who shaped political strategy.
