ORIGINWorld Teachers Day Celebrations
World Teacher’s Day is celebrated across the world on 5th October, with great verve and enthusiasm. Ever since the importance of teachers has been recognized by UNESCO, by adopting the “Recommendation concerning the status of teachers”, World Teacher’s Day has been celebrated annually. This includes celebrations to honor the teachers for their special contribution in a particular field area or the community in general.
In some countries, World Teacher’s Day is celebrated by organizing conferences focused on the importance of teachers and learning. In many countries, extra training sessions for teachers, recruitment drives for the teaching profession (among university students or other suitably qualified professionals) and events to increase the profile of teachers and the role they play in the media, are undertaken.
“Better than a thousand days of diligent study is
one day with a great teacher.”
- Japanese proverb
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.
According to the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), World Teachers' Day highlights the “vital contribution” that teachers make to education and the development of societies and nations. 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.
“The whole art of teaching is only the art of
awakening the natural curiosity of young minds
for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards.”
- Anatole France
TEACHER’S ORGANIZATION
Trade unions or other professional organizations that represent teachers play an important role in organizing World Teachers' Day events in many countries. These organizations include:
The Australian Education Union. The Canadian Teachers' Federation. The Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (Canada). The All India Secondary Teachers' Federation. The Japan Teachers' Union. The Teachers Council (New Zealand). The National Union of Teachers (United Kingdom). The National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women
Teachers (United Kingdom). The National Education Association (United States). Besides, international organizations such as TESOL (Teachers of
English to Speakers of Other Languages) and Education International organize international, national and local events, as a tribute to all the teachers in the world. In some areas, posters are displayed and pupils and ex-pupils are encouraged to send e-cards or letters of appreciation to teachers who made a special or memorable contribution to their education.
“Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these only gave life,
those the art of living well.”

A Teacher for All Seasons
A teacher is like Spring, Who nurtures new green sprouts, Encourages and leads them, Whenever they have doubts.
A teacher is like Summer, Whose sunny temperament Makes studying a pleasure, Preventing discontent.
A teacher is like Fall, With methods crisp and clear, Lessons of bright colors And a happy atmosphere.
A teacher is like Winter, While it's snowing hard outside, Keeping students comfortable, As a warm and helpful guide.
Teacher, you do all these things, With a pleasant attitude; You're a teacher for all seasons, And you have my gratitude!
