Teachers: Leading in crisis, reimagining the future



We bring to your notice the programmes lined up by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) to mark this year's world teachers' day.

The theme for 2020 World Teachers' Day is: “Teachers: Leading in crisis, reimagining the future”. The day provides the occasion to celebrate the teaching profession worldwide, take stock of achievements, and draw attention to the voices of teachers, who are at the heart of efforts to attain the global education target of leaving no one behind.

This year, in view of the current situation, the celebrations will take place online. As well as the World Teachers' Day Opening Ceremony and UNESCO-Hamdan Prize Awards Ceremony on 5 October, and the Closing Ceremony on 12 October, there will be a series of national, regional and global events throughout the week.
