Since 1994 World Teachers Day is honored every October 5. This is a time to celebrate teachers on the anniversiary of a 1966 UNESCO Reccomendation on teachers. Teachers are doing transformative work and they need support!
From UNESCO:
Teachers play a pivotal role in shaping the future by nurturing students and driving educational progress. However, to fully harness their potential, it’s crucial that their voices are heard and valued in the decision-making processes that affect their profession. This year’s World Teachers’ Day highlights the need to address the systemic challenges teachers face and to establish a more inclusive dialogue about their role in education. The 2024 celebrations will focus on “Valuing teacher voices: towards a new social contract for education”, underscoring the urgency of calling for and attending to teachers’ voices to address their challenges but, most importantly, to acknowledge and benefit from the expert knowledge and input that they bring to education.
