Teachers' Day Iran 2 may 2018

Teachers' Day iran is a special day for the appreciation of teachers, and may include celebrations to honor them for their special contributions in a particular field area, or the community in general.

The idea of celebrating Teachers' Day took root in many countries during the 19th century; in most cases, they celebrate a local educator or an important milestone in education (for example, Argentina has commemorated Domingo Faustino Sarmiento's death on 11 September since 1915, while India traditionally celebrates Guru Purnima, an Indian and Nepalese festival dedicated to spiritual and academic teachers which is celebrated on the full moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Ashadha (June–July) as it is known in the Hindu calendar of India and Nepal. The birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (5 September) is also celebrated as Teacher's Day in India since 1962. This is the primary reason why countries celebrate this day on different dates, unlike many other International Days.

Iranian people on Tuesday celebrated the National Teachers’ Day and paid tribute to all teachers across the country.
National Teachers’ Day is observed across Iran, especially at schools and educational institutions where students hold special ceremonies.
Annually on May 1 or 2, you may see many school students clutching bunches of flowers in their hands as they hurry off to school, hoping to be the first to surprise their teacher on his or her special day.
Teaching is a profession considered sacred in Iran, as it is in many parts of the world, and young and old sustain an undying respect for those who strove so hard to increase their knowledge, honouring them with a small gift or flowers on this day.
Iranian people mark the day in memory of Ayatollah Morteza Motahari, one of the architects of the Islamic Republic and a man who devoted his life to opening up and writing about Islamic teachings. He was martyred on the same day in 1980.
