HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – Today is World Teacher Day.
Since it’s inception in 1994, the holiday is celebrated in over 100 countries. There are several events planned to honor teachers or those who made a special contribution to a community.
The slogan for this World Teachers’ Day 2015 is “Empowering teachers, building sustainable societies.” Reuters photographers combed the planet documenting the learning environments for students in resource-rich nations like Japan or the United States, to those struggling to get an education in poverty- or war-stricken nations.
You may want to bring more than an apple for your teacher today. A simple thank you will do.
