November 27 is Teacher's Day in Spain, despite the fact that World Teachers' Day officially already exists, proclaimed by UNESCO and the International Labor Organization, to be celebrated on October 5.
The main reason for this difference is that it is a regional festival that seeks not only to pay homage to all teachers, professors, teachers or teachers in the country, but also to the patron saint of teachers, San José de Calasanz.
He was a priest, pedagogue and the creator of modern education, as well as the person responsible for founding the first free popular Christian school in Europe. The pious schools were his idea and creation in the 17th century and today they are spread all over the world.
