World Teachers' Day

Monday 5 October is World Teachers’ Day

IfL want to celebrate the day with you, our members by sharing the great work that teachers and trainers are doing across the sector.

A global initiative, World Teachers’ Day was established in 1994 by UNESCO to highlight the contribution of teachers and trainers and ensure that adequate support is given to the profession. In 2009 the focus is on the particular value of teachers in a time of global economic crisis and the need to invest in teachers and trainers now in order to rebuild in the future.

As a tribute Antony Gormley’s One & Other project, we are creating our own virtual plinth to demonstrate, share and reflect upon the contribution of our members.
