When Teacher's Day is Celebrated
In Russia, Teachers’ Day was celebrated on the first Sunday of October, between 1965 and 1994, but it was also celebrated on the Friday before the holiday with concerts and gatherings, while students usually gave their teachers gifts such as flowers and sweets. And since 1994, the day is observed on October 5th, coinciding with World Teacher’s Day.
World Teachers' Day is on October 5th. It celebrates the role teachers play in providing quality education at all levels. Various events are arranged in many countries around the world on or around October 5. These include celebrations to honor teachers in general or those who have made a special contribution to a particular community. The day may also be marked by conferences emphasizing the importance of teachers and learning, extra training sessions for teachers etc.
In the USA, traditionally, the Tuesday of the first full week of May is the National Teacher Day. Therefore the actual date varies from one year to another. Teacher Day is a remarkable occasion for all of them to show their teacher appreciation, whether they are students or they wish to compliment a former teacher, or their kids’ teachers. Additionally, the whole week is considered as the Teacher Appreciation Week, and lots of activities are carried out on this occasion. The State of Massachussetts has its own separate Teachers’ Day since 1976, on the 11th of September.
