Παγκόσμια Ημέρα Εκπαιδευτικών (World Teachers' Day 2009)

Η Παγκόσμια Ημέρα Εκπαιδευτικών καθιερώθηκε το 1994 από την UNESCO για να μας υπενθυμίσει τον καθοριστικό ρόλο που παίζει ο εκπαιδευτικός μέσα στην κοινωνία, είτε εργάζεται σε μία πλούσια πόλη της Δύσης, είτε σε μια αυτοσχέδια σχολική αίθουσα κάποιου στρατοπέδου προσφύγων. Εορτάζεται κάθε χρόνο στις 5 Οκτωβρίου.

World Teachers' Day 2009

Building the future

5 October is a day to celebrate teachers and the central role they play in guiding children, youths & adults through the life-long learning process. This year, World Teachers’ Day will focus on the role of teachers within the context of the global financial and economic crisis and the need to invest in teachers now as a means to secure post-crisis regeneration.
It is critical, during these difficult times, to seek mechanisms that protect the teaching profession. It is also crucial, despite the crisis, to ensure that investment in teachers is sufficient and proportionate to the demands made upon them. It is the teaching force with its knowledge, experience and foresight which can bring new insights to global solutions. Join us in celebrating this!
