Happy World Teachers' Day!

5th October - World Teachers' Day

World Teachers' Day 2012 - Take a Stand for Teachers    

5 October is designated annually by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation as a day to celebrate teachers and the central role they play in guiding children, youths & adults through the life-long learning process.

This year World Teachers’ Day will be devoted to appreciating, assessing, and improving the educators of the world. The real point is to provide a time to look at and address issues pertaining to teachers. Strangely one of the most central, vital professions to society does not receive the respect it deserves in some parts of the world.

Let's all make a stand for teachers everywhere!
