In some countries, Teachers' Days are intended to be special days for the appreciation of teachers. World Teachers' Day is celebrated across the world on October 5. Ever since the importance of teachers has been recognized by UNESCO, by adopting the “Recommendation concerning the status of teachers”, World Teachers' Day has been celebrated annually. This includes celebrations to honor the teachers for their special contribution in a particular field area or the community in general.

Malaysia

May 16

This date was chosen because on the same day in 1956, the Federal Legislative Council of the Federation of Malaya endorsed the Razak Report, one of four reports of the Education Committee regarding education in Malaysia. The document, known as the Razak Report after Tun Abdul Razak who was Education Minister at the time, became the basis of education in Malaysia ever since. Although it is not an official school holiday, celebrations are usually held on May 16, or earlier, if it falls on a Saturday or Sunday.

Hari Guru di Malaysia disambut pada 16 Mei setiap tahun sebagai penghargaan kepada para guru. Tarikh ini dipilih sebagai Hari Guru kerana pada haribulan yang sama dalam tahun 1956 Majlis Undang-Undang Persekutuan Tanah Melayu (Federal Legislative Council) telah menerima cadangan-cadangan Laporan Jawatankuasa Pelajaran (Report of the Education Committee) sebagai dasar pelajaran bagi negara kita.

Dokumen tersebut yang dikenali sebagai Laporan Razak (Razak Report) telah menjadi Dasar Pelajaran Kebangsaan semenjak itu.

Oooppsss....you all tau ke siapa penulis penulis lagu dan lirik "GURU MALAYSIA"?

Kami guru Malaysia
Berikrar dan berjanji
Mendidik dan memimpin
Putra putri negara kita

Pada Seri Paduka
Kami tumpahkan setia

Apa yang kami janji
Tunai tetap kami tunaikan
