Happy World Teachers’ Day 2024

World Teachers’ Day is held annually on 5 October to celebrate all teachers around the globe. It commemorates the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which sets benchmarks regarding the rights and responsibilities of teachers, and standards for their initial preparation and further education, recruitment, employment, and teaching and learning conditions. The Recommendation concerning the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel was adopted in 1997 to complement the 1966 Recommendation by covering teaching personnel in higher education. World Teachers’ Day has been celebrated since 1994.

It is a day to celebrate how teachers are transforming education but also to reflect on the support they need to fully deploy their talent and vocation, and to rethink the way ahead for the profession globally.  

World Teachers’ Day is co-convened in partnership with the International Labour Organization (ILO), UNICEF and Education International (EI).

Happy Teacher's Day 2024

India observes Teacher's Day on September 5th of each year to honor the priceless contributions that educators make to society. In addition, this day honors Dr. Sarpalli Radhakrishnan, the second President of India and a renowned scholar who supported education and suggested that his birthday be observed as Teachers' Day.

After Dr. Radhakrishnan's proposal was enthusiastically embraced by his students, September 5th is now observed annually in India as Teachers' Day. This is an important day for both students and teachers since it gives them a chance to thank their teachers for their commitment and gives teachers a chance to be recognized for their hard work.
