Every October 5th, since 1994, we celebrate World Teachers' Day. We thus commemorate the anniversay of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers. Basic tenets about teachers' initial preparation, professional development, employment and teaching conditions are established in this document. Later, in 1997, the Recommendations for Higher-education Teaching Personnel were published.
UNICEF, The Intenational Labor Organization (ILO) and Education Iternational have co-convened these rules un unison.
In order to commemorate World Teachers' Day, here I share the statement these three intenational associations have published together:
"In this crisis, teachers have shown, as they have done so often, great leadership and innovation in ensuring that #LearningNeverStops, that no learner is left behind. Around the world, they have worked individually and collectively to find solutions and create new learning environments for their students to allow education to continue. Their role advising on school reopening plans and supporting students with the return to school is just as important.”
Joint statement from Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, Guy Ryder, Director-General, International Labour Organization, Henrietta H. Fore, Executive Director, UNICEF, David Edwards, General Secretary, Education International on the occasion of World Teachers’ Day 2020
