The World Teachers’ Day
It is important to note that every country has its own Teacher’s day, which is celebrated on different dates. But there is also the World Teachers’ day that was created by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Every year, 5 October is celebrated as the World Teachers’ Day. A different theme is selected for every year to celebrate and honour the teachers of the world.
