World Teachers’ Day
October 05, 2004
Respect for teachers and learning
World Teachers’ Day is observed in more than 100 countries to salute to the teachers and to highlight the educational needs of future generations in this increasingly complex, multicultural and technological world.
Teaching, a profession of the future, as it is called is appealing intellectually, socially and financially as it makes the difference in lives of individuals as well as nations. Learning institutions, students and international agencies celebrate the day to highlight the importance of teachers’ role as architects of development.
The theme of World Teachers’ Day this year is ‘qualified teachers to be recruited and trained’. Instigated by UNESCO in 1994, the day is an annual reminder of the global goal of ‘education for all’ by 2015. According to UNESCO, World Teachers' Day represents a significant token of the awareness, understanding and appreciation displayed for the vital contribution that teachers make to education and development. World Teachers' Day provides an opportunity to draw public attention to the role of teachers worldwide as well as to the crucial importance of the role they play in society.
Here at the Lahore School, the basic message from all students on World Teachers’ Day, and on any other day for that matter, is this: “We appreciate you.”
