The Teachers' Day (教师节) is celebrated every year by the people of China on 10 September. The day is observed by students across the country to honour tutors. It was officially proclaimed by the Chinese Government on 21, January, 1985 and is considered as one of most important festivals in the country.
However, objections were raised by some of the people for choosing 10 September as Teachers' Day and several proposals were put forward to change the date to 28 September, which is reportedly the birth date of Chinese teacher Confucius.
Although the State Council decided to change the date by announcing a legislative draft on 5 September 2015, the government is yet to make an official announcement.
Check out the best quotes, messages, wishes and greetings to share with tutors on Teachers' Day.
