In the life of every person, mentors play a very important role. They instill a love of learning and gaining knowledge in children, discover new talents and hobbies in their students, and help them decide on the choice of their further vocation. For a long time after leaving school, teachers and students communicate with each other, recalling the best school years. That is why Teacher's Day is considered one of the main school holidays. Be sure to congratulate all teachers on this day, showing their respect for their hard, but so necessary work.
How did the holiday come about and when in 2019?

In 1966, on October 5, UNESCO adopted a legal act aimed at the rights and obligations of educators around the world. The document was called the “Recommendation on the Status of Teachers”. Many countries celebrate Teacher's Day on October 5, and the Russian Federation is also one of them. This is the story of the holiday.

Holiday traditions
One of the main traditions is holding festive concerts in schools. Children demonstrate everything they are capable of: they read poems, sing songs, dance, perform whole performances, come up with contests.
Congratulatory concerts are held in all schools in honor of the holiday
Students decorate school hallways and classrooms. Many arrange for their teachers a tea party with a sweet table. Communication in an informal setting brings the teacher very close to his students.
The purpose of this holiday is to congratulate teachers on their professional day, but it also has a wider significance. Teacher's Day draws attention to educational issues, many of which remain unresolved every year. In many localities there is a shortage of teachers, there is no opportunity to improve the qualifications of teachers, etc.
An educator is a person who has a direct impact on the future of our children. Therefore, it is so important that he be a highly qualified specialist who loves his job and treats it with full responsibility. And for this, it is necessary to improve working conditions, raise salaries for specialists, attract them with an incentive system and prospects for career growth.
