World Teachers’ Day: a reminder about the hearts behind our education systems

Teachers are the heart of education, encouraging many across the globe, so this #WorldTeachersDay we’re celebrating these special people who go above and beyond to ensure learning never stops, even through the pandemic.

“[Teachers] are the principal actors of the global education recovery efforts and are key in accelerating progress towards inclusive and equitable quality education for every learner, in every circumstance”, noted UNESCO’s Audrey Azoulay, UN Children’s Fund’s Henrietta Fore, International Labour Organization’s Guy Ryder and Education International’s David Edwards, in a joint statement

At Children Believe, not only do we help children access education, but we help teachers and communities learn and grow, too. In 2019/2020, we’ve supported more than 466,000 children, teachers, parents and guardians in accessing inclusive, quality education.

This month, support children and teachers by taking part in our #WalktoSchool day. Learn more.
