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 It is perhaps one of those few days which has a separate international day whose importance is superseded by the nationally observed day.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，在世界范圍內(nèi)，教師節(jié)并不是同一天。跟其他的國際節(jié)日一樣，它是廣受國際重視的日子，只不過是在不同的日子里來紀(jì)念罷了。從世界范圍內(nèi)人們慶祝教師節(jié)的情況來看，一些國家把教師節(jié)作為一個(gè)節(jié)日，而在另一些國家它只是一個(gè)普通的工作日。
