October 5 is World Teachers’ Day – a UNESCO/International Labour Organisation (ILO)/Education International (EI) event, which recognises the importance of education and celebrates the work of teachers.
 |
This year, World Teachers’ Day celebrations will centre on the theme “Recasting teaching as a collaborative profession,” highlighting the transformative potential of collaboration for teachers, schools and education systems. Reframing teaching as inherently collaborative – supported by policies, practices, and environments that value mutual support, shared expertise, and joint responsibility – is essential to strengthen teaching, learning, and teachers’ professional fulfilment. |
Staffroom cakes
ASTI school staff are welcome to organise staffroom cakes to celebrate during the week of World Teachers' Day and recoup the cost by submitting receipts directly to their branch treasurer. This offers ASTI staff an opportunity to welcome new members to the union. You can find the name and contact details of your branch treasurer by logging into your MyUnion account.
Please email your pictures of the World Teachers’ Day treats and celebrations in your school to [email protected] or share them with us on our social media channels.
