World Teachers’ Day is celebrated annually on October 25th to honor teachers’ vital role in education and development around the world. Established in 1994 by UNESCO, it marks the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which sets standards for educators’ rights, responsibilities, and professional development.
The day is an opportunity to appreciate the dedication of teachers and to highlight the challenges they face. Each year, a theme is chosen to reflect key issues in education, such as teacher shortages, digital learning, or the impact of teachers on social change. Events and celebrations take place globally, including award ceremonies, educational conferences, and campaigns that recognize the contributions of teachers in shaping society.
