World Teacher's Day

Oct 5
World Teachers’ Day (Journée mondiale des enseignants (PRON: en-sen-YANT) is held annually on 5 October to celebrate all teachers around the globe. It commemorates the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which sets benchmarks regarding the rights and responsibilities of teachers, and standards for their initial preparation and further education, recruitment, employment, and teaching and learning conditions.

Teachers in France belong to the body of the public servants. Teachers in the public primary and secondary education system are civil servants. Consequently, they are concerned by the general texts governing the rights and obligations of civil servants (civil service status). Teachers in private education under contract are not civil servants, but are contractual agents of the civil service.
