MY TEACHER, MY HERO

With World Teacher’s Day on the horizon, now is the time to start considering celebratory plans and gifts. It was first introduced in 1994 to celebrate the ‘teaching in freedom’ movement.

Each year it takes on a different theme – last year’s theme was ‘Engaging Teachers’ and the day looked at what really matters for teaching staff. Meanwhile, a few years ago, World Teachers’ Day honoured the twentieth commemoration of the 1997 UNESCO points regarding the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel

The purpose of this event is to acknowledge, evaluate and enhance the instructors of the world. It’s also an opportunity to take a look at the issues surrounding educators and the teaching process, focusing on the areas that don’t quite work and trying to improve them.

The goal of this celebration is still the same today as it was when first introduced; to celebrate the role of educators around the globe. It’s a great way to show our appreciation to those who value the power of education, and also, a good opportunity to evaluate the requirements of teaching, ensuring future students’ needs will be met by educators.
