teachers day why we celebrate

Teachers' Day is celebrated to honor and recognize the hard work, dedication, and important role of teachers in shaping individuals and society. It is a day to show gratitude towards teachers who are not only educators but also mentors, guides, and friends who help students grow and learn. In many countries, including India, Teachers' Day is celebrated on the birthday of a respected educator—India celebrates it on September 5th in honor of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a great teacher and former President of India. Dr. Radhakrishnan believed teachers should be respected and requested his birthday be observed as Teachers' Day to acknowledge their contribution to nation building and education. Teachers' Day is also a time to reflect on the value of education, appreciate teachers' sacrifices, strengthen student-teacher bonds, and encourage a positive learning environment. It serves as a reminder of the vital influence teachers have on students' futures and the broader society. The day often involves expressing gratitude through thank-you notes, gifts, cultural programs, and speeches appreciating teachers' roles in personal and national development.
