Teachers are valuable specialists according to the United Nations’ Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers. This recommendation was accepted on 5 October 1966 and has given rise to the celebration of World Teachers’ Day annually on 5 October. Teachers are on the frontline of education recovery efforts given the continued impact of the pandemic on this important sector.  In South Africa, the official date for World Teachers’ Day is during the school holidays. While teachers are enjoying a well-deserved break on this day, FEDSAS is encouraging governing bodies and the school community to celebrate the day on the first Friday of the fourth term (15 October 2021).
