World Teacher's Day

"You cannot teach today the same way you did yesterday to prepare students for tomorrow" 

John Dewey

UNESCO proclaimed 5 October to be World Teachers’ Day in 1994, celebrating the great step made for teachers on 5 October 1966, when a special intergovernmental conference convened by UNESCO in Paris adopted the UNESCO/ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, in cooperation with the ILO.

It is a day to celebrate how teachers are transforming education but also to reflect on the support they need to fully deploy their talent and vocation, and to rethink the way ahead for the profession globally

World Teachers’ Day is co-convened in partnership with the International Labour Organization (ILO), UNICEF and Education International (EI)

• Theme 2022:

“The transformation of education begins with teachers”.

“To truly celebrate World Teachers’ Day, we must go beyond thanking teachers. We must invest in quality public education systems. We call on governments everywhere to invest in teachers, guarantee labour rights and good working conditions, involve teachers in decision-making, and trust their pedagogical expertise. The transformation starts with teachers. We are the beating heart of education.”

David Edwards, General Secretary, Education International

Worldwide, 69 million teachers are needed to reach universal basic education by 2030. The largest deficit is in sub-Saharan Africa.

"Lack of training, unattractive working conditions and inadequate funding all undermine the teaching profession and aggravate the global learning crisis. (...) There is an urgent need to better recognise this profession on which the future of our children depends."

Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO’s Director-General

"Teachers are the beating ❤️ of education."

Education systems were already failing our children even before the pandemic. COVID-19 has exacerbated this learning crisis and children in almost every country have fallen behind in their learning.

We need a global effort to tackle the learning crisis head on. Together, we can help every child gain basic reading and math skills and unlock their potential.

Everyone can help by celebrating the profession, by generating awareness about teacher issues, by ensuring that teacher respect is part of the natural order of things. 

Take the opportunity of the day to discuss, compare, learn, argue, share and improve.

Happy Teacher's Day! Don't give up! You're the beat of education!
