World Teachers’ Day, also known as International Teachers’ Day, was established on October 5, 1994, by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), in collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and Education International (EI). The day was chosen to commemorate the signing of the UNESCO/ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers on October 5, 1966.
This recommendation sets forth international standards for the training, employment, and working conditions of teachers. World Teachers’ Day aims to honor and recognize the vital role that teachers play in shaping the lives of their students and in contributing to the development of society.
