Teachers' Day in Albania
March 7 · Level 1 · #2028 of 2238
Teachers' Day in Albania honours educators and the role of schooling in the country's cultural history. It recalls the opening of a school in Korçë in 1887, an important milestone for secular education in the Albanian language.
How it is celebrated: pupils thank their teachers with flowers, cards and performances. School gatherings bring together appreciation for today's educators and memories of the teachers who shaped earlier generations.
The historic school building in Korçë now houses the National Museum of Education. The event behind the celebration has a place you can actually visit.
