Dia del Maestro & National Teacher Day
September Teacher’s Day
Every September 11, Teacher's Day is celebrated in our country and throughout Latin America.
Teacher's Day is celebrated in tribute to the figure of Domingo Faustino Sarmiento. He was a politician, philosopher, pedagogue, writer, teacher, journalist, statesman and Argentine soldier, governor of San Juan and president of the Argentine Nation.
Education for all people is vital, necessary and develops from the moment we are born.
Our first educators are our parents who teach us and show us the world.
Our second approach is at school, when we have contact with other people who
contribute to our training, with whom we spend most of our day and whom we learn to love: the teachers.
In 1943, the First Conference of Ministers and Directors of Education of the American
Republics, held in Panama, resolved to decree September 11 as Teacher's Day for the entire American continent in honor of Sarmiento's death, but also in recognition of the importance which involves the work and disposition of all the teachers who carry out their work in schools every day
His fight for the education and culture of his people stands out. While he was governor, he decreed the Law on Compulsory Primary Education and as Head of State he managed to triple the school population
