SPOTLIGHT - Celebrating Teachers
DID YOU KNOW?
All Australian teachers have a special day, that is known as World Teachers' Day. It's celebrated on the last Friday in October and it doesn't coincide with actual World Teachers' Day.
International World Teachers Day was established by UNESCO on October 5, 1994 and since then it's annually celebrated on this day in many countries around the world.
However, many countries also have their National Teachers' Days or move World Day to another day, as it was made in Australia. The thing is that Australian schools go on a holiday at this time in October, that's why the holiday is celebrated on the last Friday in October.
