世界各地教师节

Teachers Day is， interestingly， not observed on the same day all over the world. It is perhaps one of those few days which has a separate international day whose importance is superseded by the nationally observed day. Taking a look at Teachers Day as it is celebrated across the world， in some countries it is marked by a holiday; in others it is a working day.

International Teachers Day observed by UNESCO is October 5. Being held ever since 1994， it commemorates teachers organisations worldwide. Its aim is to mobilise support for teachers and to ensure that the needs of future generations will continue to be met by teachers.

有意思的是，在世界范圍内，教师节并不是同一天。跟其他的国际节日一样，它是广受国际重视的日子，只不过是在不同的日子里来纪念罢了。从世界范围内人们庆祝教师节的情况来看，一些国家把教师节作为一个节日，而在另一些国家它只是一个普通的工作日。

世界教科文组织决定每年10月5日为国际教师节。自1994年以来，10月5日都用于纪念世界范围内的教师组织，目的是为教师们争取支持，并确保未来孩子的需要能得到满足。
