Teachers' Day is celebrated on different dates worldwide, but the internationally recognized World Teachers' Day is held annually on October 5th. This day honors teachers globally and commemorates the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which sets benchmarks for their rights and professional standards.
