Teacher’s Day in Ukraine is celebrated on the first Sunday in October
each year. This observance is held in appreciation of teachers and other
workers in the education sector across the country.
Many Ukrainians
celebrate Teacher’s Day with a range of activities, such as concerts,
presentation of flower bouquets, and public speeches addressed in recognition
of teachers and educational workers.
Teacher’s Day is an
observance and not a national public holiday in Ukraine.
In 1994, the Ukrainian president declared
Teachers’ Day as a professional holiday to thank workers in Ukraine’s education
sector. The day had been set to be annually celebrated on the first Sunday in
October. Many other countries celebrate World
Teachers’ Day, which is also held
in early October.
Many teachers receive
flowers as a symbol of appreciation for their achievements.
