Palace joins World Teachers’ Day observance

Posted on October 5, 2013

MANILA, (PNA) — Malacanang joined the global observance of World Teachers’ Day Saturday, October 5, as countries around the world highlight the vital contributions of teachers to development.

“Makikibahagi kami sa selebrasyon ng Department of Education at sini-celebrate natin ngayon ang World Teacher’s Day,” Deputy Presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said in a radio interview over dzRB Radyo ng Bayan.

“Apart from our parents, ang mga teachers natin ang isa doon sa mga tao sa ating mga buhay na nagkaroon ng malaking impluwensiya sa atin. So let’s all look back and recall ang mga favorite teachers natin at pasalamatan natin sila ngayon for World Teacher’s Day.”

Valte said the Palace joins the Department of Education in celebrating the World Teacher’s Day. DepEd was holding a program at the PhilSports Arena to recognize teachers who committed exemplary deeds in guiding and honing the skills of their students.

The Philippines celebrates both National Teachers’ Month and World Teachers’ Day, starting on September 5 of each year. Among DepEd’s activities include free health services to public school teachers, award presentations, book fairs, cultural shows, singing tilts, tree-planting, arts and crafts programs, museum tours, concerts, and conferences.The event at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City is the culmination of these activities.

Through the joint efforts of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and International Labour Organization, the 29th Session of UNESCO General Conference adopted a recommendation that culminated to the 1st World Teachers’ Day observance on October 5, 1994.

UNESCO continues to craft global standards for the teaching profession, taking into account teachers shortage, need for better trained teachers, better quality education, and the role of teachers in developing globally minded citizens.

This year’s global observance has for its theme “A Call for Teachers,” which focuses on UNESCO’s work on quality teachers for global citizenship and cultural diversity.

Teachers develop learners’ abilities to build a sustainable future with citizens who are able to take action in their own communities and contribute to global challenges.
