World Teachers’ Day

World Teachers’ Day is held annually on 5 October to celebrate all teachers around the world. It's a day to pay tribute to all the dedicated educators who shape the future by imparting knowledge and inspiring young minds. This global celebration acknowledges the invaluable contributions of teachers and their role in nurturing generations.

World Teachers’ Day 2025 is a day of recognition and appreciation for teachers around the world. It’s an occasion to celebrate the profound impact teachers have on society by equipping students with the skills, knowledge, and values needed for success. This day also serves as a reminder of the importance of quality education and the role of teachers in achieving it.

World Teachers’ Day has a rich history dating back to 1966 when the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the International Labor Organization (ILO) established the Special Intergovernmental Conference on the Status of Teachers in Paris. This conference adopted the UNESCO/ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which outlines teachers’ rights and responsibilities.

World Teachers’ Day was first celebrated on October 5, 1994, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the 1966 conference. Since then, it has become an annual event, recognised globally as an occasion to acknowledge and honor the remarkable contributions of teachers to society.
