World Teachers’ Day


Sunday October 5th is World Teachers’ Day, a day to celebrate teachers and teaching.

This September, hundreds of thousands of teachers will be meeting a new group of students in the classroom.
One of them is 21-year- old Nicky Blair, the son of former Prime Minister Tony Blair. Nicky is going to be part of Teach First, a charity organisation in Britain.
Teach First sends top university graduates to work in deprived and difficult areas in Britain. Nicky will be facing a group of tough students from Manchester’s inner city. Teach First says that their program helps develop leadership skills for the teachers, and provides good role models for the students.
