Teachers' Days

Teachers' Days are intended to be special days for the appreciation of teachers; World Teachers' Day is celebrated across the world on september 5. Ever since the importance of teachers has been recognized by UNESCO, by adopting the “Recommendation concerning the status of teachers”, World Teachers' Day has been celebrated annually. The idea of celebrating Teachers' Day took ground independently in many countries during the 20th century; in most cases, they celebrate a local educator or an important milestone in education (for example, Argentina commemorates Domingo Faustino Sarmiento's death on September 11 since 1915,while India celebrates Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan's birthday on September 5 since 1962. These two factors explain why almost all countries celebrate this day on different dates, unlike many other International Days.

- Wishing everyone a happy teacher's day..
