International Teachers Day is none of the overseas students? No, it is quite wrong. For instance, some students come to study Chinese language, and in the future they maybe a teacher in some city to spread Chinese culture. And some overseas students are doing the job now, they are doing part time job as a foreign language teacher in China. So we sincerely say thanks to those who make contributions of the teaching profession.  

International Teachers Day as observed by UNESCO is October 5. Being held ever since 1994, it commemorates teachers' organizations worldwide. Its aim is to mobilize support for teachers and to ensure that the needs of future generations will continue to be met by teachers.

According to UNESCO, World Teachers' Day represents a significant token of the awareness, understanding and appreciation displayed for the vital contribution that teachers make to education and development.

Education International (EI) (the global union federation that represents education professionals worldwide) strongly believes that World Teachers' Day should be internationally recognized and celebrated around the world. EI also believes that the principles of the 1966 and 1997 Recommendations should be considered for implementation in all nations.

Over 100 countries observe World Teachers' Day. The efforts of Education International and its 401 member organizations have contributed to this widely spread recognition. Every year, EI launches a public awareness campaign to highlight the contributions of the teaching profession.

World Teachers' Day celebrates the role teachers’ play in providing quality education at all levels. This enables children and adults of all ages to learn to take part in and contribute to their local community and global society.
