They say a good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning among his pupils.
Google on Saturday celebrated teachers around the world with a doodle to mark the World Teacher's Day.
The day was first held on October 5, 1994 to commemorate the ILO/UNESCO recommendation concerning teachers' status, according to a report published on The Sun.
This was pivotal in terms of teachers' rights, setting standards for their initial preparation as well as further education, recruitment, employment, and teaching and learning conditions, it added.
This year, World Teacher's Day will celebrate teachers with the theme: “Young Teachers: The future of the Profession.”
Google doodle celebrates 14th August
According to Unesco, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, the day provides the occasion to celebrate the teaching profession worldwide, to take stock of achievements, and to address some of the issues central for attracting and keeping the brightest minds and young talents in the profession.
The brightly coloured Google's doodle shows a smiling red octopus teaching a class of eager fish.
It uses its various legs to take in assignments, as well as wipe the board and pass the chalk to a yellow pupil.
The animated graphic also features Google's letters, written next to the board in its primary colours.
