Teachers' Day origins vary globally, but the internationally recognized World Teachers' Day is October 5th, established by UNESCO in 1994 to celebrate the anniversary of a 1966 intergovernmental conference on teacher status.

In contrast, India's Teachers' Day on September 5th commemorates the birthday of its second President, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who suggested observing the day to honor teachers rather than celebrating his own birthday.


World Teachers' Day (October 5)

• Origin:
  UNESCO established this day in 1994 to acknowledge teachers' achievements and importance.
• Significance:
  It marks the anniversary of the 1966 UNESCO Recommendation Concerning the Status of Teachers, a document outlining teachers' rights and responsibilities.
• Focus:
  The day raises awareness of the teacher's role in shaping minds and society, and addresses challenges facing education globally.

Teachers' Day in India (September 5)

• Origin:
  The day is observed to honor Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a philosopher, politician, and the second President of India.
• Significance:
  When Radhakrishnan became President in 1962, his students asked to celebrate his birthday.
• Reason for Celebration:
  He requested that his birthday be observed as Teachers' Day instead, a privilege he felt would honor the efforts of teachers in shaping the nation's future.

Other Notable Teachers' Days

• Pan American Teacher's Day (September 11): This day in Argentina and other American countries is in memory of Domingo F. Sarmiento, a former president who championed universal education.

I was once a playful boy in both primary and secondary school before I woke up from my slumber before the O Levels. I went onto JC and NUS because a particular teacher in Sec 4 believed in me. Her encouragement and kind words spurred me on to greater heights.

I'm in a dilemma. The Chinese saying 一日為師終身為母 by right I should honor her like a mother. But at the same time she insists that my mother is a chicken. So if I honor her, she will get angry.

我很為難 …

I told my kids, "there is not such thing as a bad student, only got bad teachers".

My gratitude towards my ex-mentor - a natural aristocrat and a silent philanthropist

She was a chiobu during my Sec 4 days. Time and tide waits for no man or woman.

A woman was sitting in the waiting room for her first appointment with a new dentist. She noticed his degree on the wall, which bore his full name. Suddenly, the patient remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in her JC class 35 years ago. Could he be the same guy that she had a secret crush on, way back then? Upon seeing him, the woman quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been her classmate. After he examined her teeth, she asked him if he had attended the same JC. "Yes, I did" he said with pride. "Why do you ask?" "You were in my class!", the woman exclaimed. The dentist looked at her closely. Then, that old, bald, wrinkled faced dentist asked: "What subject did you teach"?

Teechers are also ceevil servants. I don't see why they have to have a 'Day'. Some of these idiots cannot even teach. Principals rule over their schools like feudal lords, probably get kicks from their power trips
