World Teachers’ Day – Friday 30 October 2020
Every year, World Teachers’ Day reminds us of the critical role teachers play in achieving inclusive, quality education for all.
This year’s World Teachers’ Day has an even greater significance in light of the challenges that teachers have faced during the COVID-19 crisis. As the pandemic has shown, they make a crucial contribution to ensuring continuity of learning and supporting the mental health and wellbeing of their students.
Now is the time to recognise the role of teachers in helping to ensure a generation of students can reach their full potential, and the importance of education for short-term stimulus, economic growth and social cohesion, during and after COVID-19.
We thank all IEU member teachers for their commitment and dedication throughout 2020.
