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.
The "Teacher's Day" (Día del Maestro) is celebrated as a tribute to Domingo Faustino Sarmiento. He was an Argentine politician, philosopher, pedagogue, writer, teacher, journalist, statesman and military man; governor of San Juan and president of the Argentine Nation.
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 of the work and willingness of all teachers who work in schools on a daily basis.
