TEACHERS’ DAY

Teachers’ Day is a special day for the appreciation of teachers, and may include celebrations to honour them for their special contributions in a particular field area, or the community in general.

The idea of celebrating Teachers’ Day took root in many countries during the 19th century; in most cases, they celebrate a local educator or an important milestone in education. This is the primary reason why countries celebrate this day on different dates, unlike many other International Days.

In India the birthday of our second president Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (5 September) is celebrated as Teachers’ Day since 1962.
