It is also known as International Teachers Day. This day is celebrated with the aim of improving the condition of teachers in the world.
This was decided in the 1966 meeting between UNESCO and the International Labor Organization. World Teacher's Day is a special day not only for the teachers but also for the students.
On this day, teachers and retired teachers are honored for their special contribution. World Teachers' Day is organized every year by UNICEF, UNDP, International Labor Organization and UNESCO together.
