How many of you were aware of the fact that teachers all over the world have a day which is specifically dedicated to them? I’ve personally been in this business for over 7 years and I had no idea!! I also did not know that different countries have different days throughout the year on which they celebrate Teachers’ Day.  Normally the days are chosen depending on particular political or historical events which took place on a specific day.

Different countries also have different ways to celebrate this day.  In some countries, such as Croatia and El Salvador, Teachers’ Day is considered to be a holiday and schools are closed.

All the teachers at Elanguest were surprised when our Turkish students walked into the cafeteria with a beautiful and delicious-looking cake on Tuesday morning.  The 24^th of November is Teachers’ Day in Turkey and since all of them happen to be lecturers and Professors, they are normally on the receiving end of gifts, however, this year they happened to be playing the role of students on Teachers’ Day so they wanted to share this special day with all of their teachers over here!

Apart from it being a lovely gesture, I must admit that the cake was amazing……:)
