World Teachers’ Day is observed on October 5th each year. It honors teachers worldwide and marks the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which sets standards for teachers’ rights, preparation, and working conditions. Some observances note the date varies in certain places (e.g., local celebrations shifting to a nearby weekday when October 5 falls on weekends or holidays), but the globally recognized date remains October 5. If you’d like, I can share how different countries celebrate or provide a brief history timeline.
