Teachers' Day is observed in eleven Arab countries, including Oman, UAE, Bahrain, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco, every February 28. This professional observance honors teachers for their hard work and acknowledges their contributions to the community. The celebration of a dedicated holiday for teachers began to spread globally in the 20th century, with many Arab nations adopting this specific date. One of the primary objectives of Teachers' Day in the Arab world is to address the teacher shortage highlighted by a UNESCO study, encouraging young people to pursue teaching careers and improve teacher training. In addition to their national observances, many Arab countries also recognize World Teachers' Day, which is celebrated on October 5, as proclaimed by the United Nations.
