World Teachers' Day
World Teachers' Day was officially proclaimed on October 5, 1994 in Geneva (Switzerland) during the World Education Conference.
The declaration of this date as World Teachers' Day on the recommendation of 'UNESCO' and the International Organization. (ILO) of Employment aims to raise public awareness of the importance and role of teachers in social, economic and cultural development.
Algeria, like all countries in the world, and in application of this recommendation, commemorates this day to pay tribute to teachers by organizing different activities and numerous cultural, artistic, literary and sporting events in different educational institutions with the aim of:
- Mark a pause of pride and recognition to the teacher for the noble mission he accomplishes in the field of education of generations, the preparation of men of the future and the dissemination of Knowledge and Knowledge.
- Raise public awareness of the primordial and principal role of the teacher in the evolution and promotion of society.
- Rehabilitate members of the education family and recognize them for the colossal work they accomplish for the honor and dignity of the country.
World Teachers' Day coincides this year with the immense project of reforming the education system launched at the initiative of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Like other vital sectors, education constitutes an axis of great importance in the program of the President of the Republic. To carry out in-depth reflection which will result in the establishment of a reform plan, a National Commission for the Reform of the Education System was set up in May 2000.
During the official installation of this commission, the President of the Republic insisted, in his speech, on the essential role played by this sector: “The renovated Algerian school, the first level for learning democratic culture and the best guarantor of social cohesion and national unity, will ensure the training of a citizen equipped with incontestable benchmarks, faithful to its principles and values, but also capable of understanding the world around them. (…) The reform of the education system that we are undertaking today represents a very long-term work which is situated in the rite of the ancestral gestures of the sower in fertile soil.
It is a continuous action, a constant effort to adapt to the evolution of our society and the constantly changing world.” This reform, due to its importance, requires great mobilization in the world of education, particularly within the Ministry of National Education. The President himself placed it among the priorities and contributed, through his meeting with the Director General of UNESCO in February 2001, to breathe new life into relations between this institution and the Algerian Ministry of National Education. A memorandum of understanding relating to support for the reform of the Algerian education system (PARE) will also be signed at UNESCO headquarters.
