5 OCTOBER
World Teachers’ Day is held annually on 5 October to
celebrate all teachers around the globe. It commemorates the anniversary
of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation
concerning the Status of Teachers, which 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 personnel in higher education. World
Teachers’ Day has been celebrated since 1994.
World Teachers’ Day is co-convened in partnership with
the International Labour Organization (ILO), UNICEF and Education International
(EI).
