World Teachers’ Day – 5th October

World Teachers’ Day is celebrated annually on the 5th October to commemorate the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers. This is a day to celebrate how teachers are transforming education and to reflect on the support they need to fully deploy their talent.  

"Today, on World Teachers’ Day, we celebrate the critical role of teachers in transforming learners’ potential by ensuring they have the tools they need to take responsibility for themselves, for others and for the planet. We call on countries to ensure that teachers are trusted and recognized as knowledge producers, reflective practitioners, and policy partners."
