ORIGIN OF TEACHER’S DAY IN VENEZUELA
With the purpose of fighting for the dignity and rights of educators, the origin of Teacher’s Day dates back to January 15, 1932 when the Society of Primary Instruction Teachers was founded in Caracas.
However, it was not until 1936 when the institution convened the First National Convention of Teachers, an assembly from which the Venezuelan Federation of Teachers emerged, where notable personalities such as the first president, Miguel Suniaga, Roberto Martínez Centeno and Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa attended.
WHEN IS TEACHER’S DAY CELEBRATED IN VENEZUELA?
Teacher’s Day is celebrated in Venezuela on January 15 every year. This date is used by thousands of people to remember his valuable role in the formation of future citizens.
The reason why Venezuela celebrates Teacher’s Day every January 15 is because on that date in 1932, during the Government of Juan Vicente Gómez, a group of educators formed the Venezuelan Society of Primary Instruction Teachers in order to defend the labor rights of this union and improve education in the country.
Four years later, in 1936, this institution convened the First National Convention of Teachers, an assembly from which the Venezuelan Federation of Teachers originated. Later, in 1945, January 15 was officially declared Teacher’s Day, to honor educators and remember the creation of the organization.
