👩🏻🏫October 5 is World Teachers’ Day, a date dedicated to the role of teachers in education, the development of society and the preservation of cultural heritage. 🌐The day was established by UNESCO in 1994. The date of October 5 marks the adoption in 1966 of the UNESCO/International Labour Organization Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which set out the fundamental principles of teachers’ professional status. 🧑🎓Over the past decades, the teaching profession has changed significantly. Today, teachers do more than simply impart knowledge: they help students navigate the information environment, develop critical thinking, master new technologies, and build dialogue across cultures and generations. 📚For the Russian House in Brussels, the work of teachers of the Russian language and literature is of particular importance. They introduce international audiences to the Russian language, history and culture, while also helping our compatriots abroad maintain their connection with their cultural heritage. 🎉We congratulate all teachers and educators on their professional holiday and thank them for their knowledge, dedication and contribution to shaping the future of new generations. 🤓Tell us about your favourite school teacher or university professor.
