Today, Thursday 5 October, 2023, is World Teachers’ Day.
According to unesco.org:
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.
Atiku wrote: “On this #WorldTeachersDay2023, let’s recognise the urgent need to support and amplify the teacher workforce. Without them, our quest for knowledge remains incomplete. The teachers we need are the heart of the education we want.”
