While India celebrates Teachers’ Day on September 5 in honour of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, October 5 is recognised worldwide as World Teachers’ Day. This global observance is dedicated to acknowledging the invaluable contributions of educators in shaping the future.
Teachers across the globe play a pivotal role — they spark curiosity, nurture discipline, and guide learners through the transformative journey of knowledge.
History and Significance of World Teachers’ Day
World Teachers’ Day was established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1994. It commemorates the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers — a milestone document that outlines international standards for teachers’ rights, responsibilities, and working conditions.
This day serves as a reminder of the enduring commitment teachers make to instill values, critical thinking, and creativity in students. Beyond celebration, it provides a global platform to elevate the teaching profession and highlight the systemic support educators need to thrive.
