UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) declared the 5th of October to be the World Teachers Day back in 1994 when a special intergovernmental conference in Paris, assembled by UNESCO, adopted UNESCO/ILO (International Labor Organization) recommendation concerning the status of teachers.
World Teachers’ Day is an opportunity to memorialize teacher organizations all around the world and it also aims to show support to teachers, making sure that teachers continue to strive and contribute to the global framework of needs and requirements needed to build a strong foundation to a more capable and productive future generation.
