The statement comes in their joint message to mark World Teachers’ Day, celebrated annually on 5 October
The international community has committed to transform education – a process that must be led by teachers.
That’s the firm belief expressed by Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UN educational and cultural agency, UNESCO; Gilbert F. Houngbo, Director-General of the International Labour Organization (ILO); Catherine Russell, Executive Director at the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and David Edwards, General Secretary of Education International.
