Google's Doodle Celebrates Teacher's Day 2019

A MULTITASKING octopus is the focus of a Google Doodle celebrating the achievements of teachers across the globe.

Google is celebrating World Teachers' Day on October 5, 2019.

The day was first held on October 5, 1994, to commemorate the ILO/Unesco recommendation concerning teachers' status.

This was pivotal in terms of teachers' right, setting standards for their initial preparation as well as further education, recruitment, employment, and teaching and learning conditions.

This year, World Teachers’ Day will celebrate teachers with the theme: “Young Teachers: The future of the Profession.”

According to Unescom, the day provides the occasion to celebrate the teaching profession worldwide, to take stock of achievements, and to address some of the issues central for attracting and keeping the brightest minds and young talents in the profession.
