There are professional holidays dedicated to teachers. Its in Russian Federation celebrated every year on the first Sunday in October. The celebration is celebrated by all employees of educational institutions. Teaching is one of the most important professions in any state. These workers pass on skills, knowledge and experience to future adults. Teachers are those people who have a serious influence on the formation of the personality of the student. Therefore, their professional holiday appeared in the middle of the last century. We recommend not to forget those teachers who were able to convey something to you, and be sure to congratulate them.
history of the holiday
The holiday was established by decree of the authorities of the Soviet Union in 1965. Then they decided to celebrate it in early October. In 1994, a similar holiday was approved by UNESCO, at the same time the initiative was supported by the authorities of the Russian Federation, since that time we have been celebrating it. The date for the holiday was chosen for a reason. On this day in 1966, a conference on the status of educators was held in Paris. It was then that the first document on the legal status of employees in the educational sphere was adopted. It outlined the rights and obligations of teachers, international standards regarding their training, qualification growth, and recruitment. This was not the last document that dealt with the status of the teaching staff.
On October 5, 1997, UNESCO adopted another one that affected teachers in higher education institutions. It directly affected the legal status of educators. The strong recommendations managed to consolidate a number of rights and obligations of teachers and international standards that relate to their training, advanced training, hiring and working conditions.
In 2012, the holiday began to be held under the slogan: "Let's support the teachers!" The thing is that teachers need to be supported, because in many states there is a rapid deterioration in their situation. It is on Teacher's Day that the public draws attention to the need to return the teaching profession to respect and recognize their decisive role in building the future.

Date in 2019: October 5th, Saturday.
One of the most respected, difficult and responsible professions in the world is a teacher. People who give their time, knowledge and soul to pedagogy accept congratulations from grateful pupils, students, their parents on their professional day. Join the congratulations in October, when the whole world celebrates Teacher's Day.
The cheerful chime of the first bell and curiosity in the eyes of first-graders, the first love that torments the soul and tears from an undeservedly placed deuce, an exciting school score and anxiety before exams - any memories associated with school years evoke nostalgia and tenderness. And how not to remember our teachers - strict and understanding, beloved and demanding.
Once a year, there is a great occasion not only to mentally return to the past, but to actually congratulate all teachers on their professional holiday, which is celebrated in October.
Who celebrates Teacher's Day?
Who are the teachers, what do we know about them? Most are sure that almost everything. After all, these people lead us through life from infancy. A kind and affectionate teacher takes care of the kids in kindergarten, the first teacher meets first-graders at the entrance to the school. Having given us knowledge and guidance, our beloved teachers, with tears in their eyes, send their students on a life voyage with a matriculation certificate.
Wise teachers and professors share with us the intricacies of the chosen profession. And even as adults, we turn to teachers for help, who give us new and important information necessary for life and professional work.
Glasses and a strict suit, an evaluating look and instructive notes in his voice .... Learned? Yes, this is a portrait of the average teacher. He firmly believes that he knows exactly what others need. And as a result, from the teacher you can hear not only recommendations on how to complete the school assignment, but also advice on how to live and wear a skirt, how to talk and wipe your nose.
How many stereotypes, myths, unrealistic stories are associated with the teaching profession. Teachers are all different, and relationships with parents and students cannot develop according to a well-established pattern.
But most remember their teachers only kind words and tries not to leave them unattended on holidays. Kids and adults prepare birthday greetings to the teacher in prose, make presents and write scripts for a professional celebration.
Unfortunately, the number of teachers in Russia has decreased by almost a third over the past decade, and the average age of teachers is inexorably approaching retirement age. Retired teachers are in no hurry to leave the walls of the school, as there is an incredibly lack of personnel, despite the prestige of the profession. Congratulations to our elderly teachers who have devoted their entire lives to teaching children.
It is imperative to remember the younger generation, which chose the important and responsible work of a teacher as their profession.
Teacher's Day 2019 is a celebration when we congratulate all teachers and mentors, educators and coaches, and all people whose professional activities are related to education.
The history of teachers' holiday
For half a century now, at the beginning of October, each school is being transformed. In a noisy and cheerful atmosphere, preparations are underway for a special day - students and schoolchildren, teachers and scientists are preparing for the celebration of Teacher's Day.
The celebration has its own history, as it began to be celebrated in 1965. It was then that the first Decree was signed, in which a special holiday date was designated. For a long time teachers were congratulated on the first Sunday of October.
In Russia, since 1994, the date of the celebration has changed. The reason for changing the holiday date was the Decree signed by the President. Such an event is connected with the accession of Russia to 100 countries that began to celebrate a new celebration - World Teacher's Day.
This event appeared just in 1994 after the signing of a document on recommendations that related to the status of teachers. The initiators were members of UNESCO, as well as representatives from the International Labor Organization. The choice of date was connected with the day of the international conference in Paris on the status of teachers, which took place in 1966.
However, in some countries of the former Union, including Ukraine and Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan and Latvia, the date of the holiday remained unchanged. Here Teacher's Day 2016, what date is celebrated, depends on the date on the calendar. Congratulations to teachers, as before, on the first Sunday in October.
In Russia, since 1995, teachers who have devoted more than 15 years to their profession and at the same time have made a significant contribution to the education and upbringing of the younger generation have been awarded the title of Honored Teacher.
This honorary title is awarded only to the best teachers on their professional holiday.
Today, the UN calls on the world community and each individual on such a holiday to think about how life has changed thanks to good teachers.
And after all, so little is needed: words of gratitude, my sincere congratulations, lovely gifts - and a smile of gratitude will shine on the face of the teacher.
The holiday is especially loved by schoolchildren. Indeed, on the eve of official celebrations, schools hold a day of self-government, when teachers can have a well-deserved rest, and active capable high school students can try themselves as a teacher.
Amateur concerts are held in educational institutions, official festive events are organized at the governmental and public level, where the contribution of teachers to the development of education is celebrated. Prizes, awards, cash prizes are awarded. The winners of the competition "Teacher of the Year" are awarded.
Profession teacher
The first schools belong to the era of 4-5 millennium BC. Such data are confirmed by archaeological excavations in the territories of the Ancient East, which were carried out in China and India, Babylon and Assyria.
The word teacher in ancient Greece was associated not with a teacher, but with ordinary slaves who could not be involved in hard physical labor, so they were assigned to the child of a nobleman and were obliged to accompany the baby to school.
Literally from the ancient Greek, pedagogy is translated as “children's education” or “children's education”. And directly the teachers who in ancient Greece were engaged in teaching children arithmetic were called calculators. From Latin, this word is translated as an accountant or counter, and is associated with the word calcuius, that is, a pebble. After all, it was pebbles that were used for counting in those days.
Ancient Rus' can boast of the emergence of professional pedagogy at the time of the adoption of Christianity. By order of Prince Vladimir, which was published in 988, the best people should give their offspring for book learning. For this, a specialized school was built in Novgorod.
But starting in the 1750s, preference was given to the French or French-speaking Swiss. Quite often, such pseudo-teachers did not have any education, they got into tutors only for a good knowledge of foreign languages. There were special requirements for such teachers. The tutor must be middle-aged and must be married. And if they took a young governess, she should be distinguished by beauty, which guaranteed a serious attitude to her duties and, of course, prevented love affairs in the house where the governess worked.
Since 1834, a special provision appears, which stipulates the requirements for home tutors. On the basis of this decree, the path for foreigners to the families of Russians was closed. The governesses were bound to be Russian subjects and Christians.
As for schooling, literally until the beginning of the 20th century, it was conducted separately. Beginning in 1919, compulsory education appears. The Soviet government, trying to eliminate illiteracy and inequality, issues a decree according to which girls and boys, regardless of status, must attend school.
Teachers today also have special requirements. Not only that, people for whom this profession has become a true vocation should be engaged in the education of children.
People with certain health problems cannot be engaged in pedagogy. It is not recommended to devote your life to the profession of a teacher if you have:
- neuropsychiatric disorders;
- cardiovascular diseases;
- chronic infectious diseases;
- problems with the musculoskeletal system;
- deviations in the vocal apparatus;
- hearing and vision problems.
The work of a teacher is considered difficult, but at the same time the most interesting in the world. If we look at the statistics today, we are only pleased with the level of public trust in teachers. The rating in this regard is 3.72 points out of a possible 5. Only scientists deserve more confidence, whose score was 3.86.
But according to other criteria, this specialty has greatly lost its position in recent years. The prestige of the profession is estimated at no higher than 2.9 points, and the desire of parents to see their offspring as teachers, that is, the prospects - at 2.57. The yield is estimated at 2.77. And, despite the recent increase in wages, young people are in no hurry to enter pedagogical universities. Particularly in demand today are teachers of languages, humanities and engineering sciences, computer science.
The shortened workload of 18 to 36 hours and even a wonderful vacation of 42–56 calendar days, which always falls in the summer months, does not attract professionals.
Therefore, people go into the profession for whom teaching is not just a temporary occupation, but the meaning of life. A real teacher must have a number of human qualities, without which it is impossible to work with children and adolescents. It is hard to imagine a teacher who does not know his subject thoroughly. He is kind and sympathetic, loyal and fair, sympathetic and strict, punctual and purposeful.
Modern teachers try to keep up with progress, they are simply obliged to constantly study new teaching methods, electronic and computer technologies used in the educational process.
People who have found themselves in the profession note the pleasant atmosphere of childhood and youth, the opportunity to share knowledge, participate in the formation of personality, help the child understand the intricacies of relationships and life. They find ways to develop personally and professionally, how not to harden and not forget the delights of childhood.
Congratulations on Teacher's Day
Dear our teachers! Our knowledge and first steps in life, our professional choice and attitude to events and people have developed thanks to your participation, your experience. The fate of little people is in your caring hands. So let your thoughts always be pure, your deeds noble, and life not be overshadowed by fatigue, troubles or illnesses.
On an October joyful holiday,
Autumn rustles and colors the foliage.
Ready for lesson tutorial,
As for the faces, I just don't understand.
All the children are in a hurry and laughing.
Teacher's day and so much fuss.
And congratulations flow
And all the words are full of kindness.
When Teacher's Day comes
The children are in a hurry with a bouquet of flowers.
And an honor for every parent.
Say thanks a lot.
Larisa , August 27, 2016 .The holiday of people of this important and respected profession was officially established by the UN in 1994 to draw attention to the position of teachers in society, their role in education and development.
Teacher's Day is a symbol of gratitude and respect for teachers - people whose important role in the life of every person cannot be overestimated, because thanks to their work and perseverance, children gain a craving for knowledge, discover new talents in themselves, learn attention, patience and communication.
Therefore, Teacher's Day is an opportunity to pay tribute to your teachers, thank them once again for their selfless work and efforts. After all, a teacher is not just a profession, but a real vocation, since a good teacher gives not only knowledge, but also educates a new generation.
Why October 5
The choice of the date of the celebration is not accidental - in Paris on October 5, 1965, an intergovernmental conference of UNESCO and the International Labor Organization was held, where they adopted the document "On the Status of Teachers", in which the concept of "teacher" was clearly defined for the first time.
This category includes teachers who teach and educate children in primary and secondary schools. The Recommendation described the goals and policies in the field of education, the training of teachers and the importance of their professionalism.
Before the advent of World Teachers' Day, the school holiday was celebrated in many countries at the national level. In most states, holidays for teachers were held in the first half of October, as they were timed to coincide with the date of the adoption of the first international document regulating the working conditions of teachers.
Since 1994, World Teachers' Day has been celebrated annually on October 5 under the auspices of the International Federation of Teachers' Unions, which unites more than 400 organizations from 172 countries. Every year the holiday is held under a certain slogan.
The motto for 2017 is "Teaching Freedom, Empowering Teachers". With this appeal, the international community is trying to pay special attention to institutional autonomy and academic freedom in higher education institutions.
One of the oldest professions
Since ancient times, the school has become the basis for the development of mankind - according to archaeological excavations, the first schools appeared in the countries of the Ancient East - Babylon, Assyria, Egypt, India.
Historians believe that the need to transfer experience and knowledge to new generations led to the emergence of the teaching profession and educational institutions.
Many pedagogical terms that are used to this day: "pedagogy", "didactics", "rhetoric" and others appeared in Ancient Greece, where people who were engaged in pedagogical activities were called - teacher (from the Greek paidagogos, which literally means "children's , child guidance" - educator).
That is, a slave who accompanied the child to school and watched him at home, who had a great influence on the child, and gradually turned from an ordinary slave into a home teacher.
In general, in the countries of the Ancient East, there were three main types of schools: at temples - priestly schools that trained ministers of a religious cult; palace schools - to educate children of the slave-owning nobility; schools of scribes - prepared officials for the needs of the administrative and economic department.
Three systems of education were practiced in the ancient world: the Athenian one, based on the ideas of versatile development, the Spartan one, which brought up a strong warrior, and the Roman one, in which many features of the Athenian and Spartan schools were further developed.
How to congratulate in different countries
Many countries around the world joined the celebration world day teachers, while each country celebrates this day in its own way. Some countries have moved Teacher's Day to another date, however, this holiday does not cease to be international.
Teacher's Day in France is celebrated on October 5th. It is not customary to give any gifts on this day. At the request of the school, a concert can be organized, and then a sweet table for teachers and students to communicate in an informal setting. Sweets are brought by parents in advance.
In Germany, on Teacher's Day, it is also not customary to give gifts to teachers. If there is a desire and the child loves his teacher, you can present him with some kind of craft or draw a postcard.
In the United States, National Teachers' Day is celebrated on Tuesday, the first full week of May. This week is called Teacher Appreciation Week. Only the state of Massachusetts celebrates Teacher's Day on the first Sunday in June as a state holiday. On this day, if desired, children can give teachers flowers and sweets.
Poland celebrates Teacher's Day on October 14th. On this day, it is customary for teachers to give flowers, you can supplement the gift with chocolates, but not from each student, but from the whole class. More expensive gifts are not given. At the same time, it is customary to congratulate only your class teacher.
In China, Teacher's Day is celebrated on September 10th. The holiday was approved to raise the importance of this profession, since the work of a teacher became less revered during the Cultural Revolution. On this day, former students also come to schools to congratulate teachers. On this day, I hear a lot warm words, and children give flowers to teachers and prepare a festive program.
In Argentina, Teacher's Day has become one of the main national holidays which is celebrated on September 11th. A general day off is declared, Argentines are happy to congratulate teachers.
In India, on Teacher's Day, which is celebrated on September 5, there is interesting tradition. Senior students change places with teachers and conduct lessons themselves. Of course, many warm words of gratitude are said to all teachers on this day.
In England, it is customary to give tea on holidays. One of the English proverbs says: "Get knowledge at school with a book, and at home with a cup of tea." It has been scientifically proven that tea has a positive effect on brain activity, concentrates attention, maintains body tone, which in turn contributes to better assimilation of the material.
In Canada, the celebration coincides with World Teachers' Day. By the way, in 2002, a commemorative stamp was issued in Canada in honor of World Teachers' Day.
And in Austria, Teacher's Day is not celebrated - the class, if desired, can wish their teacher a Merry Christmas. For this purpose, symbolic sums are collected to give some pleasant and inexpensive thing.
In the countries of the former Soviet Union
For the first time this holiday was approved in the Soviet Union in 1965, it was celebrated on the first Sunday of October. This tradition has been preserved in some states of the former Soviet Union to this day. For example, in Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Kazakhstan and so on.
In Uzbekistan, the holiday is celebrated on October 1, and this day is officially recognized as a day off. And some countries, including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan and Moldova, celebrate the holiday on October 5 on World Teachers' Day.
In the countries of the former Soviet Union and the CIS, it is customary to arrange banquets on Teacher's Day, solemn events, give gifts, flowers, postcards and, of course, say words of gratitude.
In Russia, since 1994, Teacher's Day has also been celebrated on October 5 by decree of the President of the Russian Federation. In Russian schools, informal holidays are held on this day, where teachers are honored. According to tradition, teachers are given flowers and symbolic gifts, festive concerts and theatrical performances are arranged for them.
At the events dedicated to Teacher's Day, there are parents of students who, together with teachers, can evaluate the performances of their children, as well as morally support them. Beloved teachers come to visit former students.
In addition to school events, national events are also held, during which the country's leadership awards honored teachers and educators who have achieved the best results in their work.
Since 1992, the competition "Teacher of the Year of Russia" has been held, the founders of which are the Ministry of Education and Science, the All-Russian Trade Union of Education and the Teacher's Newspaper. The first competition was held in 1990, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the competition acquired the status of "All-Russian".
