Held every year on 5 October, World Teachers’ Day commemorates the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recommendation for concerning the status of teachers. This recommendation back then sets benchmark regarding the rights and responsibilities of teachers and their standards for their initial preparation and further education, recruitment, employment, and teaching and learning conditions.
Besides our parents, teachers are the ones who’ve had lasting positive impact on who we are today. Our success in life owes them deep gratitude. On #WorldTeachersDay I thank all my teachers as well as every single teacher who continue to light the way for our young generations.
