Teacher’s Day, celebrated globally in various forms, has its roots in the efforts of individuals passionate about honoring educators. The most widely recognized origin dates back to 1962 in India when Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a respected scholar and India’s first Vice President, proposed a day to appreciate teachers’ contributions. His birthday, September 5th, was chosen, and it officially became Teacher’s Day in India in 1964. However, the concept of celebrating teachers extends far beyond this single event. In the United States, for instance, Teacher’s Day was first proposed by World War II teacher Mary Kay Ash in 1953, aiming to bring attention to the hard work of educators. It gained national recognition, albeit as a non-holiday, in 1985. These efforts highlight a universal appreciation for the impact teachers have on shaping minds and societies. Celebrations often include gift-giving, cards, and public acknowledgments, serving as reminders of the value of education and the dedication of those who facilitate it.
