Teachers are the provider of
education which is one of the basic rights of our children. And despite facing
various obstacles that test their creativity and patience, they steadfastly
stand by their commitment to give their mentoring best.
October 5 is World Teachers' Day, a
special day for the appreciation of educators for their heroic role. Is a day to honor our teachers who
play a critical role in guiding children and in providing them lifelong
learning
and hence help
in building a better and developed society.
“A
Call for Teachers!”
is the slogan of World Teachers’ Day 2013 (5 October), which UNESCO is
celebrating along with its partners, the International Labour Organization
(ILO), UNDP, UNICEF and Education International (EI). UNESCO has been celebrating World Teachers’
Day every year on 5th October since 1994 in association with its partners.
At the heart of the educational
system, teachers hold the keys to a better future for all. They are a powerful
force for peace. By transmitting universal values such as human rights,
respect, justice and cultural diversity, they help transform younger
generations into global citizens of the 21st century.
The profession of a teacher is losing
status in many parts of the world. The World Teachers’ Day is not just a
celebration but also calls attention for the need to raise the status of the
profession of a teacher. It call is very much needed not only for the benefit
of teachers and students, but for society as a whole, to acknowledge the
crucial role teachers play in building the future.
Let’s say "Thank you" to at least one teacher
who made a difference in our lives by writing a letter or sending a card.
“Saying 'thank you' is just our
simple way of giving back to our teachers who have touched our lives in one way
or another.
Note : Teachers’ Day is celebrated by many countries on
different days like India celebrated Teacher’s Day on 5th September, the birthday
of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan while United States celebrates National
Teacher’s Day on first Tuesday of May.
