Is 5th October a Public Holiday?
5th October is a day Teachers are celebrated in Ghana.
Teachers’ Day is a special day for the appreciation of teachers, and may include celebrations to honor them for their special contributions in a particular field area, or the community in general.
The idea of celebrating Teachers’ Day took root in many countries during the 19th century; in most cases, they celebrate a local educator or an important milestone in education.
This is the primary reason why countries celebrate this day on different dates, unlike many other International Days.
