Commemoration of Somali Teacher's Day 21 November 2015

Today Education for All Somalia (EFASOM) has been celebrating with its
coalition members raising awareness on the crucial role teachers play
in ensuring education for all. Commemoration of Teacher's Day 21
November 2015 in Somalia has been an important date since 1974. These
events marking National Teachers Day have been held across the
country.

Somali Education Minister, H.E. Dr Khadar Bashir Ali, congratulated
Somali teachers everywhere on the momentous day. “I congratulate
Somali teachers wherever they are for Somali Teacher’s Day on November
21, May every commemoration find Somali teachers in progress,” said
Ali, adding that Somalia prefers marking this day to World Teachers
Day celebrated in October every year.

Actually, the World Teachers' Day, held annually on October 5 since
1994, commemorates teachers’ organizations worldwide. Its aim is to
mobilize support for teachers and to ensure that the needs of future
generations will continue to be met by teachers.

It is recognized that teachers are not only a means to implementing
education goals; they are the key to sustainability and national
capacity in achieving learning and creating societies based on
knowledge, values and ethics. However, they continue to face
challenges brought about by staff shortages, poor training and low
status.
