The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and Education International inaugurated World Teachers Day at an international teacher’s conference in Geneva on 5 October 1994.
The day was initiated with the intention to focus public attention on the work of the teachers.
5 October has since then been celebrated annually by acknowledging the work and role played by teachers around the world.
