World Teachers Day is celebrated every year, globally, on October 5 to recognise the works of educators including teachers, researchers ande professors worldwide. On October 5, 1966, a recommendation on the status of teachers was adopted and to mark that event , UNESCO has been celebrating teachers since 1994 . The recommendation includes teachers’ rights and responsibilities, initial preparation and further education, recruitment, employment and teacher -learning conditions.
