Celebrate World Teacher Day on October 5!

Monday, October 5th is World Teachers' Day and celebrates the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers. The recommendation set benchmarks and standards for global education. In 2020,  the theme of World Teachers’ Day is: “Teachers: Leading in crisis, reimagining the future”. Now that we have the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there is a dedicated target (SDG 4) that recognizes education as a key to a sustainable future in the global economy.
