5th of September each year in India to acknowledge teachers and
their untiring efforts in developing and shaping our lives.
This day has special importance not only in India but in the
entire world where teachers are honored for their part in molding
the students.
Teacher’s Day is observed in India on the fifth of September as it is
Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan’s birth anniversary was a great
philosopher, scholar, and the second President of India.
Dr. Radhakrishnan was an educationist and a professor of
excellence who devoted his entire life to improving the
standard of education and elevating the status of teachers in
the country. He still is a great inspiration to everyone, especially
to educational institutions as a result, his birthday is the best day

Why We Celebrate Teacher's Day:
Acknowledging Teachers’ Impact:
Teachers play an important role and are viewed as mentors who are directly
responsible for the future of their students. What role do they play in the
students’ lives? They are not only teachers but also role models, tutors, and
motivators who guide and encourage learners. Teacher’s Day is a chance we
should grab and celebrate them, and thank them for the service they have given
for years.
Celebrating the Art of Teaching:
Teaching is not only a profession but an art that demands love, care, empathy,
compassion, and feeling. Teacher’s Day highlights the need for this art and
the role that educators have in cultivating thinking abilities, imagination, and
ethical standards of students.
Promoting Respect and Appreciation:
Teachers are always honored in many cultures. Teachers Day is a reminder of how
important we should value teachers who have dedicated many years of their lives to
imparting knowledge to so many people. It encourages the culture of acknowledging
teachers and at the same time discourages society from undervaluing teachers.
Encouraging Professional Development:
Teachers’ Day celebration also allows discussion of matters concerning the professional
development of teachers. Teachers require constant training and development
which enables them to learn more about the current practices and technologies in the
education sector.
Strengthening the Teacher-Student Bond:
Teacher’s Day is the perfect time for students to show their appreciation and gratitude
to their teachers. Also, it helps in developing a strong bond between the teachers and
students and promotes healthy learning.

long way in showing how much teachers are valued.
