On this day, we call for teachers to receive supportive environments, adequate quality training as well as ‘safeguards’ for teachers’ rights and responsibilities...We expect a lot from teachers – they, in turn, are right to expect as much from us. This World Teachers’ Day is an opportunity for all to take a stand. 
Irina Bokova, UNESCO Director-General

World Teachers’ Day, held annually on October 5th since 1994 - when it was created by UNESCO - celebrates teachers worldwide. Its aim is to mobilise support for teachers and to ensure that the needs of future generations will continue to be met by teachers.
The International Council on Education for Teaching (ICET) is an international association of policy and decision-makers in education, government and business dedicated to improving educational experiences and outcomes in all parts of the world. In their newsletter they wrote about "TAKE A STAND FOR TEACHING!" All teachers are welcome to join the association.

Its great to see a day dedicated entirely to teachers. The work they do for the community and input the economy is huge and needs to be recognised!
