Most countries around the world celebrate World Teachers’ Day on October 5, however, because this date usually falls during the Australian school holidays, we celebrate World Teachers’ Day on the last Friday of October instead.
This year, World Teachers’ Day falls on Friday 25 October in Australia.
In 2019, World Teachers’ Day will celebrate teachers with the UNESCO theme, “Young Teachers: The future of the Profession.” The day provides the occasion to celebrate the teaching profession worldwide, to take stock of achievements, and to address some of the issues central for attracting and keeping the brightest minds and young talents in the profession.
