WORLD TEACHERS DAY 2022
World Teachers Day 2022 is being commemorated today Wednesday, October 5th,2022 under the Theme: “The transformation of Education begins with Teachers”. This is a Day to celebrate the transformative and critical Role that Teachers play in growing Learners’ potential.
Established in 1994, it commemorates the signing of the 1966 UNESCO/ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which is a standard-setting Instrument that addresses the status and situations of Teachers around the World.
WHY IS WORLD TEACHERS DAY IMPORTANT ?
Every Year, World Teachers Day gives us the opportunity to celebrate the World’s 71 Million Teachers, recognizing their contribution and putting a spotlight on the incredible responsibility that they bear in ensuring that all Children and Youth everywhere can enjoy the right to Education.
This is a Day to celebrate the transformative and critical role that Teachers play in growing Learners’ potential. We need to ensure that they have the Tools they need and are recognised for their key role.
UNESCO is addressing the commitments and calls for action made at the Transforming Education Summit in September 2022, and analysing the implications they have for Teachers and teaching. UKFIET partners are also working innovatively to strengthen Teachers’ roles and provide them with the care and support they need to allow their Learners to flourish.
