World Teachers’ Day was inaugurated on 5 October 1994 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) to commemorate the 1966 joint signing of the UNESCO/ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers. In adopting this recommendation, governments unanimously recognized the importance of competent, qualified and motivated teachers in society.
Teachers are the heart of public education. Opening doors to a world of knowledge is the challenge that teachers in Alberta and worldwide undertake and fulfill every day in their schools, their communities, and their homes. Through their efforts and imagination, teachers inspire students to reach out and move beyond their horizons. Good teaching results in ensuring that we, as a society, have knowledgeable and forward-looking citizens who can assume the mantle of leadership in the future.
On October 5, teachers in 92 countries around the world will celebrate World Teachers' Day. Together we are strong, and together we are opening doors for our students to the future. That's something to celebrate
According to Education International External link, this year’s slogan for World Teachers Day is “Take a stand for teachers!” Since 1994, UNESCO has made it a special mission to try to elevate the status of teachers worldwide to make sure that their needs are met and to ensure that top graduates are recruited into to the teaching profession. UNESCO works to ensure that teachers are given their due rights and training so that they can continue to inspire underprivileged students everywhere to succeed.
Teachers are badly needed across the globe. UNESCO’s aim in celebrating World Teachers’ Day is to help communities realize the importance of good teachers and to mobilize support and recruits.

Thank You
If you are a teacher or plan on becoming a teacher, thank you for committing yourself to better opportunities for our youth. It is a difficult and unfortunately sometimes under-appreciated profession full of challenges. It is not a job that one takes for the salary or vacation perks, and we all know that teachers spend countless hours outside of instruction developing and refining their instruction and materials.
Today, it is more important than ever to celebrate World Teachers’ Day so educators everywhere can be held in high esteem. Every future begins with a great teacher, and Teach.com wants to thank you for contributing to a brighter future!
