The aim of the day is to highlight the important work that teachers do every day. Happy Teachers' Day, dear teachers!<\/p>\n<h4>Let's value teachers properly \u2013 strengthen their position.<\/h4>\n<p>It was established&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/World_Teachers%27_Day\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"International Day of the Teacher (Opens in a new browser tab)\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>International Teachers' Day<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;initiated by UNESCO and Education International in 1994. The aim of the day has always been to highlight the important work that teachers do in the world \u2013 but also to strengthen the solidarity of teachers and to consider how children's education can best be organised in the future.\u00a0The international organisation selects a campaign theme each year, and this time the slogan is 'Value Teachers, Strengthen Their Position'.\u00a0 Within the International Federation of Education Unions, there are around 30 million teachers belonging to more than 400 teachers' unions in 171 countries. Icelandic teachers are part of this group, as K\u00cd is a member of the International Federation of Education Unions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Icelandic Teachers\u201e Association will, as ever, celebrate Teachers\u201c Day. A short story competition is being held in play schools, primary schools and secondary schools across the country, with the theme \"my teacher.\"\u00a0A competition of this kind was held for the first time last year and was considered a great success. Today, the K\u00cd Education Conference will also be held. At the conference, professional leadership by teachers will be discussed, and the keynote speaker will be&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.educ.cam.ac.uk\/people\/staff\/frost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr David Frost<\/a>, professor and academic at the University of Cambridge. The School Education Summit is inspired by work at K\u00cd aimed at fostering a positive discussion about the teaching profession and school and education policy, as well as the book Flip the System. Changing Education from the Ground Up, which was published in connection with last year's World Congress of the Education International (EI). Its purpose is to support teachers and their organisations in strengthening the teaching profession as a leading force in education and school policy, and education as a guiding principle for equality and democracy in society. Dr David Frost is among the contributors to the book's chapters on professional teacher leadership.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;The hashtag of the day is #TeacherDayHere at home, while those who want to join the international conversation can use #WorldTeacherDay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We wish all the teachers in the country a happy day!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Althjodadagur-kennara.jpg\" alt=\"World Teachers&#039; Day\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 470px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 470\/664;\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Al\u00fej\u00f3\u00f0adagur kennara er haldinn h\u00e1t\u00ed\u00f0legur um heim allan 5. okt\u00f3ber og hefur svo veri\u00f0 gert s\u00ed\u00f0an 1996.
