About World Teachers' Day

There are over 170,000 primary, secondary and early childhood teachers working in NSW. The event is an opportunity to recognise all teachers.
World Teachers' Day is celebrated every year on 5 October. As this date is within the school holidays, NSW celebrates on the last Friday of October.
This year, World Teachers' Day will be celebrated in NSW on Friday 31 October 2025.
