WORLD TEACHERS DAY--OCTOBER 5, 2007
Friday is World Teachers' Day, which is sponsored by Education International (EI) and UNESCO. It is celebrated in over 100 countries in the world. The theme of this year's day is 'Quality Teachers for Quality Education'.
The theme is meant to counter an increasing trend of governments to use poorly trained teachers. This fundamentally undermines the quality of education.
Quality education is the key to economic, social, and environmental progress. Quality teachers thus lead the way. October 5th is the day to celebrate teachers worldwide, but also to remind governments that they must continue to support teachers and the essential work that they do.
Happy World Teachers' Day!
