什麼是世界教師節

[@more@]

On 5 October, teachers’ organisations worldwide mobilise(動員) to ensure that the needs of future generations are taken into consideration in this increasingly complex, multicultural and technological (技術的)world.

UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization 聯合國教育科學暨文化組織) inaugurated(開始) 5 October as World Teachers’ Day in 1994 to commemorate(慶祝紀念) the joint signing of the UNESCO/ILO( International Labor Organization 國際勞工組織)Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers ( 116 kb) on 5 October 1966. World Teachers’ Day also highlights the Recommendation concerning the Status of Higher Education Teaching Personnel ( 6.6 mb) adopted(被採用) in 1997.

According to UNESCO, World Teachers’ Day represents a significant(重大有意義) token of the awareness, understanding and appreciation displayed(展示) for the vital(極重要的) contribution that teachers make to education and development. Education International strongly believes that this Teachers’ Day should be internationally recognized and celebrated around the world. EI also believes that, on this anniversary(週年紀念) date, the principles of the 1966 and 1997 Recommendations should be considered for implementation(履行完成) in all nations.

Over 100 countries observe (慶祝)World Teachers’ Day. The efforts of Education International and its 348 member organisations have contributed to this widely spread recognition. Every year, EI launches a public awareness campaign to highlight the contributions of the teaching profession.
