Today is World Teachers' Day. Created by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1994, this day commemorates the anniversary of adopting the Recommendation Concerning the Status of Teachers. This document sets benchmarks regarding the rights and responsibilities of teachers worldwide.
With the theme "The teachers we need for the education we want: The global imperative to reverse the teacher shortage," the 2023 celebrations will aim to put the importance of stopping the decline in the number of teachers and then starting to increase that number at the top of the global agenda. Through various activities, they will advocate for a dignified and valued teaching profession, analyze their challenges, and showcase inspiring practices to attract, retain and motivate teachers and educators. It will also examine how education systems, societies, communities, and families recognize, appreciate, and actively support teachers.
The High Prairie School Division is proud to offer quality education provided by qualified teachers who work daily to educate and inspire our students to succeed in their goals and achieve their dreams.
