World Teachers Day



I hate to say it but without my teacers I woudl have probably amounted to nothing or would have been a self study genius, either way we need to acknowledge those that help mold our education and our young minds.

Today marks World Teachers Day:



World Teachers' Day, held annually on October 5th since 1994, commemorates teachers’ organizations 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.

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.



 
Education International (EI) (the global union federation that represents education professionals worldwide) strongly believes that World Teachers' Day should be internationally recognized and celebrated around the world. EI also believes that the principles of the 1966 and 1997 Recommendations should be considered for implementation in all nations.

Over 100 countries observe World Teachers' Day. The efforts of Education International and its 401 member organisations have contributed to this widely spread recognition. Every year, EI launches a public awareness campaign to highlight the contributions of the teaching profession.


Why couldn't all female teachers be like this
 
To all the spankings and crappy homework exercises, from the bottom of my heart thanks you to all the teachers who helped mold me into who I am today.
