Since 1994, World Teachers’ Day commemorates the anniversary of the signing of the 1966 UNESCO/ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which celebrated its 50thanniversary during last year’s edition.

Teaching personnel at institutions of higher education are often overlooked in discussions concerning the status of teachers. Like teachers at pre-primary, primary, and secondary levels, teaching in higher education is a profession requiring expert knowledge, specialized skills, and pedagogical competence.

World Teachers’ Day 2017 will be celebrated under the theme “Teaching in Freedom, Empowering Teachers”, echoing the 2015 theme that followed the adoption of the new Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs)(link is external) in September 2015, when teacher empowerment was reaffirmed as a top priority in all education and development strategies.

Teachers are celebrated for being selfless, devoted, hardworking, and the wisest person in the classroom.
To all amazing teachers out there,  You deserve recognition for all the sacrifices that you make.
Our heartfelt thank you to all who spend their time, energy, and love to care to educate our children.
From us all @itgensolutions

 Happy Teachers' Day!

How coding can encourage a creative mindset

If you want to promote creativity with programming, learn alongside your students Coding is often perceived as formulaic and sometimes boring but this couldn’t be further from the truth: it is in fact an incredibly creative activity. Coding is simply a language that instructs technology on what to do and how to behave. I would say it has become the new pencil and paper – a tool with endless opportunities. It’s what you do with it that matters, and in this digital world, children really can do anything from creating a 2D platform game, to writing a program that solves their maths homework. What a great opportunity then to encourage a creative mindset in children. Here are some ideas for you to use in your classroom.
