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.
