The International festival marks the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) recommendation concerning the status of teachers.

What is the history of World Teachers’ Day?
A teacher has the remarkable chance to make a transformative and lasting effect on the existence of their students. They help in moulding the bright future of their students and offering individual satisfaction. On October 5, 1994, UNESCO announced that the day would be set apart as World Teachers' Day to celebrate and respect the contribution of educators they make in our lives.
The day is co-convened in association with UNICEF and Education International (EI) and International Labour Organization (ILO). It celebrates the anniversary of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation adoption concerning the situation of the educators.
