Teacher Solidarity for the improvement of education

Education International celebrates World Teachers' Day 2008

Every day, in millions of classrooms around the world, the universal endeavour of teaching and learning takes place. The gift of literacy is passed from one generation to the next, along with love of learning and thirst for knowledge. When knowledge is shared, skills are gained and lives can be changed.

October 5 is World Teachers’ Day, a day set aside by the world community to celebrate teachers and the central role they play in nurturing and guiding infants, children, youth and adults through the life-long learning process.

* How can you celebrate World Teacher's Day?
* Say thanks to a teacher who made a difference in your life, or in your childrens' lives. Take a minute to send an e-card with your greetings and good wishes - just move your mouse over the yellow tab on the right to open up our collection of e-cards (in 8 languages!).
* Download and print this year's poster - show the world that teachers matter! Move your mouse over the green tab and look for the poster in your language.
* Share your World Teachers' Day photos with us! Move your move over the red tab and upload your photos to our Flickr photostream!
