8. ORIGIN
World Teachers Day Celebrations
 World Teacher’s Day is celebrated across the
world on 5th October, with great verve and
enthusiasm. Ever since the importance of
teachers has been recognized by UNESCO, by
adopting the “Recommendation concerning the
status of teachers”, World Teacher’s Day has been
celebrated annually. This includes celebrations
to honor the teachers for their special
contribution in a particular field area or the
community in general.
 In some countries, World Teacher’s Day is
celebrated by organizing conferences focused on
the importance of teachers and learning. In many
countries, extra training sessions for teachers,
recruitment drives for the teaching profession
(among university students or other suitably
qualified professionals) and events to increase
the profile of teachers and the role they play in
the media, are undertaken.
“Better than a thousand
days of diligent study is
one day with a great
teacher.”
- Japanese proverb

9.  World Teachers’ Day is on October the 5th every year. It is a very
special day and every student should make a note of it in his or her
diary. And then they should put it on their calendar, computer and
iPhone. It celebrates some of the world’s most important and
underpaid people – teachers. Without teachers, no one would learn
anything. Because of this, all students should prepare a special gift to
give to their favorite teacher on this day. Nothing too big, perhaps an
iPod or a voucher for a spa and massage. This day has only been going
since 1994. Its aim is to get people to support all teachers around the
world. It also aims to promote the wonderful profession of teaching for
all wannabe teachers.
 According to the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO), World Teachers' Day highlights the “vital
contribution” that teachers make to education and the development of
societies and nations. More than 100 countries observe this day. The
teaching profession is changing rapidly. There are good things;
technology means teachers have more tools to use inside and outside
of the classroom. There are also bad things; in many countries,
children have lost respect for teachers and so never listen to them. It
is important on this day to remember that teachers are there for one
reason – to educate people to give them the chance of a better future.
Be nice to your teachers on World Teachers’ Day.
“The whole art of teaching
is only the art of
awakening the natural
curiosity of young minds
for the purpose of
satisfying it afterwards.”
- Anatole France

10. TEACHER’S ORGANIZATION
 Trade unions or other professional organizations that represent
teachers play an important role in organizing World Teachers' Day
events in many countries. These organizations include:
 The Australian Education Union.
 The Canadian Teachers' Federation.
 The Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (Canada).
 The All India Secondary Teachers' Federation.
 The Japan Teachers' Union.
 The Teachers Council (New Zealand).
 The National Union of Teachers (United Kingdom).
 The National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers
(United Kingdom).
 The National Education Association (United States).
 Besides, international organizations such as TESOL (Teachers of
English to Speakers of Other Languages) and Education International
organize international, national and local events, as a tribute to all the
teachers in the world. In some areas, posters are displayed and pupils
and ex-pupils are encouraged to send e-cards or letters of
appreciation to teachers who made a special or memorable
contribution to their education.
“Those who educate
children well are more to
be honored than parents,
for these only gave life,
those the art
of living well.”
– Aristotle

(Name of teacher),
I'm happy that you're my teacher;
I enjoy each lesson you teach.
As my role model you inspire me
To dream and to work and to reach.
With your kindness you get my attention;
Every day you are planting a seed
Of curiosity and motivation
To know and to grow and succeed.
You help me fulfill my potential;
I'm thankful for all that you've done.
I admire you each day, and I just want to say,
As a teacher, you're number one!

Who nurtures new green sprouts,
Encourages and leads them,
Whenever they have doubts.

Whose sunny temperament
Makes studying a pleasure,
Preventing discontent.
A teacher is like Fall,
With methods crisp and clear,
Lessons of bright colors
And a happy atmosphere.

Keeping students comfortable,
As a warm and helpful guide.

With a pleasant attitude;
You're a teacher for all seasons,
And you have my gratitude!
