World Teachers' Day - FRANCAIS - ESPANOL
5 OCTOBER
Held
annually on 5 October since 1994, World Teachers’ Day commemorates the
anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO
Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers.
This Recommendation sets benchmarks regarding the rights and responsibilities
of teachers and standards for their initial preparation and further education,
recruitment, employment, and teaching and learning conditions. The Recommendation concerning
the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel was
adopted in 1997 to complement the 1966 Recommendation by covering teaching and
research personnel in higher education.
With
the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goal 4 on education, and the
dedicated target (SDG 4.c) recognizing teachers as key to the achievement of
the Education 2030 agenda, WTD has become the occasion to mark progress and
reflect on ways to counter the remaining challenges for the promotion of the
teaching profession.
World
Teachers’ Day is co-convened in partnership with UNICEF, the International
Labour Organization and Education International.
JOINT
STATEMENT FROM UNESCO, ILO, UNICEF AND EDUCATION INTERNATIONAL
"In
this crisis, teachers have shown, as they have done so often, great leadership
and innovation in ensuring that #LearningNeverStops, that no learner is left
behind. Around the world, they have worked individually and collectively to
find solutions and create new learning environments for their students to allow
education to continue. Their role advising on school reopening plans and
supporting students with the return to school is just as important.”
Joint
statement from Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, Guy Ryder,
Director-General, International Labour Organization, Henrietta H. Fore,
Executive Director, UNICEF, David Edwards, General Secretary, Education
International on the occasion of World Teachers’ Day 2020
WORLD
TEACHERS' DAY CELEBRATIONS IN 2020
In
2020, World Teachers’ Day will celebrate teachers with the theme “Teachers:
Leading in crisis, reimagining the future”. The day provides the occasion to
celebrate the teaching profession worldwide, take stock of achievements, and
draw attention to the voices of teachers, who are at the heart of efforts to
attain the global education target of leaving no one behind.
The
COVID-19 pandemic has significantly added to the challenges faced by already
over-extended education systems throughout the world. It is no exaggeration to
say that the world is at a crossroads and, now more than ever, we must work
with teachers to protect the right to education and guide it into the unfolding
landscape brought about by the pandemic.
The
issue of teacher leadership in relation to crisis responses is not just timely,
but critical in terms of the contributions teachers have made to provide remote
learning, support vulnerable populations, re-open schools, and ensure that learning
gaps have been mitigated. The discussions surrounding WTD will also address the
role of teachers in building resilience and shaping the future of education and
the teaching profession.
This
year, in view of the current situation, the celebrations will take place
online. As well as the World Teachers' Day Opening Ceremony
and UNESCO-Hamdan Prize Awards Ceremony on 5 October,
and the Closing Ceremony on 12 October, there will be a series of national,
regional and global events throughout the week.
