World Teachers’ Day | How to say “teacher” in different languages

Every year, on October 5, we are honoring teachers and their role in providing quality education for students everywhere. Also known as International Teachers Day, World Teachers’ Day was established in 1994 and it observes the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers. This Recommendation set the standard regarding the rights and the responsibilities of the teachers concerning their education, employment, recruitment, and teaching conditions.

Teachers are the best people in the world. They always go above and beyond to support their students. They change lives. And one day is not enough to thank them for all their dedication to education.

Our World in Data shows that, in 2014, there were almost 90 million teachers in the world. On Teachers’ Day, thank at least one of them and let’s make this world a better place.

Empowering teachers through technology

We, at Mondly, strongly believe that education is the foundation of our society. That is why we work tirelessly to make the joy of learning languages possible in every corner of the world.

Still, we felt we could help teachers even more.  So we created MondlyWORKS, a platform that offers schools or teachers the ability to invite, manage and follow students’ progress with Mondly within a dedicated dashboard. Basically, if you are a language teacher, you will love this. Not only does MondlyWORKS allow you to give your students access to thousands of hours of interesting content in more than 30 languages, but it also helps you make the classes more interesting for the students.
