World Teacher's Day

https://www.unesco.org/

"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 Former 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!

"Education should help young people learn how to learn: combining knowledge, life skills & critical thinking. "

Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of UN 

Today, 12 August, we celebrate the International Youth Day. On 17 December 1999, the United Nations General Assembly endorsed the recommendation made by the World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth the 12 August be declared International Youth Day.

https://www.un.org/

Theme 2019 :

“Transforming education.”

The theme of International Youth Day 2019, “Transforming education”, highlights efforts to make education more relevant, equitable and inclusive for all youth, including efforts by youth themselves. 

There are currently 1.8 billion young people between the ages of 10 and 24 in the world. This is the largest youth population ever. 

But 1 in 10 of the world’s children live in conflict zones and 24 million of them are out of school. Political instability, labour market challenges and limited space for political and civic participation have led to increasing isolation of youth in societies.

 

Rooted in Goal 4 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”.

Youth engagement is crucial to bringing about more relevant, equitable and inclusive education. Youth-led organizations are transforming education by partnering with Governments, educational institutions and other stakeholders, lobbying and advocating education policies and developing complementary training programs.
