In Ukraine, Teacher's Day, which is officially called the Day of Education Workers, is celebrated annually on the first Sunday of October, according to the Decree of the President of Ukraine dated September 11, 1994.

Teacher's Day was first celebrated in the USSR in 1965.

Later, in 1994, on the recommendation of UNESCO, this professional holiday of education workers received international status and began to be celebrated on October 5.

After all, teachers – it's not only people who teach science, teachers – they are mentors of the younger generation, preparing them for adulthood. More than 100 countries in the world celebrate Teacher's Day.
