Status of Teachers
:: Activities ::
CEART
Every three years, EI submits a detailed report to the UNESCO-ILO Committee of Experts on the Application of the Recommendation on the Status of Teachers and the Recommendation on the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel (CEART) about the implementation of the two Recommendations around the world. In the case where a government is found to violate the terms of the Recommendations, CEART will then consider the allegation and then issues its findings and suggestions for the resolution of the problems.

World Teachers’ Day
On October 5 each year, teachers’ organisations worldwide mobilise to ensure that the needs of future generations are taken into consideration.
UNESCO inaugurated October 5 as World Teachers’ Day in 1994 to commemorate the joint signing of the UNESCO-ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers on 5 October 1966. World Teachers’ Day also highlights the UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Higher Education Teaching Personnel adopted in 1997.
World Teachers' Day represents a significant token of the awareness, understanding and appreciation displayed for the vital contribution that teachers make to education and development. Education International strongly believes that this day should be internationally recognised and celebrated around the world. On this date, the principles of the 1966 and 1997 Recommendations should be considered for implementation in all nations.
Every year, EI launches a public awareness campaign to highlight the contributions of the teaching profession. For more information about World Teachers’ Day, please visit our World Teachers’ Day website: http://www.ei-ie.org/worldteachersday
