World Teachers’ Day is an international observance held annually on 5th October. It is also referred to as International Teachers’ Day. This day was first celebrated in 1994 by UNESCO to commemorate the anniversary of the ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers that was adopted on 5 October 1966. World Teachers’ Day provides an opportunity to show gratitude and appreciate the role of teachers. Students can celebrate this day by designing and sending a card to teachers. They can also prepare a play or write a poem to thank the teachers.
