The holiday appeared in connection with the adoption of the Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers on October 5, 1966 at a conference of UNESCO and the International Labour Organization.

The Recommendation became a fundamental international document that defined the working conditions of teachers.

Over 100 countries celebrate the World Teachers' Day. Sometimes the separate national Teacher's Day is commemorated. In CIS countries such as Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia the Teacher's Day is celebrated on October 5, together with World Teachers' Day.

In Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan it is celebrated on the first Sunday of October, in Uzbekistan – on October 1, in Moldova – on March 7.
