Most people are vague about whether teachers' Day is a holiday. Maybe we all think that for a festival like teacher's day, at least teachers should have holidays, but in fact, do they have holidays? Is the teacher's Day holiday legal? How many days is teacher's day off?
How many days is teacher's day off? Is teacher's day off legal
Teachers' Day is not a statutory holiday, and according to Article 5 of the second revision of the decision of the State Council on Amending the provisions on holidays of national annual festivals and anniversaries, it is stipulated that no holiday is allowed on February 7th, July 7th Anti Japanese War, September 3rd Anti Japanese War victory, September 18th, teachers' day, nurse's day, reporter's day, tree planting day and other festivals and anniversaries.
Why is teacher's day on September 10th?
This is because Ye Shengtao's suggestion was consulted during the formulation of teacher's day. He suggested that teacher's day should be set every autumn when students enter school, so that students can remember teachers' hard work and glory at the beginning of the new school year. Finally, in December 1984, the report on the establishment of teacher's day suggested that September 10 should be regarded as teacher's day every year.
In order to carry forward the fine tradition of "respecting teachers and valuing education" and improve the status of teachers, the ninth meeting of the Standing Committee of the Sixth National People's Congress on January 21, 1985 determined that September 10 of each year is China Teachers' day.
As early as before the founding of new China, the education sector has advocated the establishment of teacher's day. In 1931, some educators suggested that June 6 should be teachers' day, but it was not officially recognized. In 1939, the official decided to set Confucius' birthday (August 27) as teachers' day, which was not implemented nationwide. In 1951, the Ministry of education and the national education trade union announced that labor day should be designated as teachers' day. However, because it did not reflect the characteristics of teachers' day, this initiative was not settled over time.
