The Significance of World Teachers' Day
World Teachers' Day, established by UNESCO in 1994, is celebrated annually on October 5th. It provides an opportunity to reflect on the crucial role teachers play in society. Teachers are not just educators; they are mentors, role models, and often, the first point of contact outside the family for young children. Our Childcare courses will guide you through the importance of the role of a ‘Key Person’ and how best to provide person-centred care to the young people you work with and their families.
Teachers face numerous challenges, from adapting to changing educational landscapes to addressing the diverse needs of their students. World Teachers' Day acknowledges their dedication, hard work, and the profound impact they have on generations to come.
“The teachers we need for the education we want: The global imperative to reverse the teacher shortage”.
This year, the theme of World Teachers’ Day shines a light on the ever-reducing number of teachers, exacerbated by their ever-declining working conditions and status.
In 2023 Unesco are aiming to put the importance of stopping the decline in the number of teachers and then starting to increase that number at the top of the global agenda. Through various activities, they will advocate for a dignified and valued teaching profession, analyse their challenges, and showcase inspiring practices to attract, retain and motivate teachers and educators.
"We call upon countries to ensure that teaching is transformed everywhere into a more attractive and valorised profession where teachers are valued, trusted, and adequately supported to meet the needs of every learner. Bold actions must be taken, if we are to reverse the current decline and successfully increase teacher numbers."
- Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO
Our Commitment to Early Childhood Education
Early childhood education is a critical phase in a child's development. It lays the foundation for future learning, social interactions, and cognitive growth. Therefore, it is essential to equip early years educators with the necessary tools and knowledge to provide high-quality care and education.
At BVS Training, we understand the importance of early childhood education and the role of early years educators. That's why we have developed a series of childcare eLearning courses tailored to the needs of those working in early years settings.
