         <description>World Teachers' Day is celebrated annually on 5 October. If you are not a teacher, take a few moments today to consider why you did not choose this profession. What would it take in your own country to attract and prepare someone like yourself for such a commitment? How might someone like you best respond to the learning needs of children, especially those who face discrimination, such as girls? If, on the other hand, you are already a member of the teaching profession, rest assured that the United Nations and all its partners support and defend your rights and understand the full weight of your responsibilities.</description>
