World Teachers’ Day is a yearly
event that aims at promoting, appreciating, assessing and improving teachers
around the world’, and also honour educators worldwide and to bring attention
to issues impacting teachers and other educational professionals throughout the
world.
The event was established in 1994
and commemorates the 1966 signing of the UNESCO/ILO Recommendation Concerning
the Status of Teachers, the document that helped to address the position of
teachers worldwide.
It outlines standards relating to
the recruitment, training and retention of teachers throughout the world and
advocates for their employment and working conditions.
To mark the event, UNESCO and
Education International undertake a campaign annually to help people understand
the critical role that teachers play in both the classroom, behaviour and
society as a whole, with private sector organizations to achieve this and
focusing on a singular theme every year.
The theme for 2018 is, ‘The right to education means the right to
a qualified teacher’ and also marks the 70th anniversary of the adoption of
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 by the United Nations.
Today, World Teachers’ Day is
celebrated in more than 100 countries throughout the world.
