Celebrate World Teachers’ Day 2016!

To raise awareness, understanding and appreciation of the important role teachers play in education, we celebrate World Teacher’s Day on the 5th of October. This year World Teachers’ marks the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which establishes the rights and responsibilities of teachers as well as international standards for their initial preparation and further education, recruitment, employment, teaching and learning conditions.

The theme this year focuses on “Valuing teachers, improving their status”. The theme is in line with the principles set out in the Recommendation and highlights the pivotal role that teachers play in fulfilling Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on education, namely to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”.

The roadmap for the new agenda, the Education 2030 Framework for Action, highlights the fact that teachers are fundamental for equitable and quality education and, as such, must be “adequately trained, recruited and remunerated, motivated and supported within well-resourced, efficient and effectively governed systems”.

Teachers and trainers in TVET

UNESCO-UNEVOC recognizes the important role teachers and trainers play in technical and vocational education and training (TVET). In order to stimulate the sharing of information on vocational pedagogy and advocate the strengthening of TVET teacher education, UNESCO-UNEVOC has organized a number activities, such as virtual and face-to-face discussion fora.
