World Teacher’s Day occurs once a year on October 5 starting 1994 in honor of teachers’ associations all over the world. The goal was to create support for teachers and to see that the needs of the generations in the future would still be met by teachers. Sunday School teachers are equally important. They provide knowledge, support, and wisdom about the Bible.

But Sunday School itself has a very important history that started in the 1780s where a movement was beginning to provide more poor children with the chance to learn how to read.
With the Industrial Revolution, numerous children were working all week long in factories. For many years, work hours extended through most of the day. Eventually, the average work day was taken down to 12 hours for children in 1802. Considering that Saturday during those times was also considered a part of the work week, Sunday became the only day in which these children could learn.
Happy World Teacher’s Day!
