World Teacher’s Day is an international celebration that is held on October 5th and is dedicated to celebrating and recognizing the contributions of teachers around the world. It was established by UNESCO in 1994 with the aim of addressing the global education challenges, promoting teachers’ rights and fostering international recognition of the teaching profession. On this day, people honor and appreciate teachers for their hard work and dedication, which is often overlooked. Teachers play an important role in society, as they inspire and cultivate future generations. This day is also a great opportunity to thank teachers for their tireless efforts and to recognize the importance of quality education in our lives. Let’s all give Australia’s teachers a Happy World Teachers’ Day!
