Teacher’s Day in Ukraine is celebrated on the first Sunday in October each year. Teacher’s Day is an observance and not a national public holiday in Ukraine.

This observance is held in appreciation of teachers and other workers in the education sector across the country. Many teachers receive flowers as a symbol of appreciation for their achievements.

Many other countries celebrate World Teacher’s Day, which is also held in early October. More than 100 nations celebrate the World Teachers’ Day globally.

Teachers’ Day aims to raise awareness of the importance of the role played by teachers all over the world. The responsibility for educating future generations is not a light one by any means, so show your support for these dedicated and important people not just on Teachers’ Day, but throughout the whole year.

TEACHERS

                  by Kevin William Huff

Teachers

Paint their minds

And guide their thoughts

Share their achievements

And advise their faults.

Inspire a LOVE

Of knowledge and truth

As you light the path

Which leads our youth.

For our future brightens

With each lesson you teach

Each smile you lengthen

Each goal you help reach.

For the dawn of each poet

Each philosopher and king

Begins with a TEACHER

And the wisdom they bring.

WHY  GOD  CREATED  TEACHERS

                                                  by Jill Wolf

When God created teachers,

He gave us special friends

To help us understand His world

And truly comprehend

The beauty and the wonder

Of everything we see,

And become a better person

With each discovery.

 

When God created teachers,

He gave us special guides

To show us ways in which to grow

So we can all decide

How to live and how to do

What’s right instead of wrong,

To lead us so that we can lead

And learn how to be strong.

 

Why God created teachers,

In His wisdom and His grace,

Was to help us learn to make our world

A better, wiser place.
