Teacher's Day in Brazil (15/10)

Teacher — is a special profession that requires the person who chooses it to fully devote himself to his work, the ability to be collected and responsible for the new younger generation, which, without a doubt, any teacher should sincerely love. Teacher's Day — is a great opportunity to thank teachers and express your gratitude.

Brazil is no exception to a number of other countries. Here this holiday — Teachers' Day — is celebrated annually on October 15th.

The history of the holiday is as follows: on October 15, 1827, on the day of St. Teresa (Teresa d'Ávila) during the reign of Emperor Pedro I, the Decree on Elementary Education in Brazil was first issued, and it said that cities, villages, any settlements must have a school for primary education in the alphabet.

Previously, during the long academic semester from June 1 to December 15, there were only 10 vacation days. And several teachers were inspired by the idea of organizing another day off during the training process necessary to interrupt hard work and avoid overwork, and at the same time get an additional opportunity to analyze their professional activities.

The first time Teacher's Day was celebrated was in 1947, in the city of San Paulo in a small school. Then Professor Salomão Becker proposed a date of October 15th. It was decided that on this day teachers and students would bring home-made baked goods to organize a small school holiday, which was successfully organized together with teachers.

Gradually, this tradition spread throughout the country, and in 1963 a law was adopted at the state level, establishing October 15 as a holiday. And although it is not a non-working day, on this day various festive events are held in schools, the main goal of which is to express respect from students and their parents for teachers and gratitude for their hard daily work.

Modern teachers, as a rule, are very friendly with their students and, of course, take an active part in the development of children. Their main position in education and training is to help reveal the world around them to the child using accessible, humane methods, explaining, explaining, playing with him.
