Why World Teacher’s Day is important?

Wai Kru Day means thanking the teachers who taught us and honoring them. It’s a day to celebrate success. It draws attention to the teacher’s voice, which is at the heart of efforts to achieve global education goals. The ceremony usually begins with a Buddhist prayer ritual in institutions where Buddhism is observed as the official religion, followed by the students’ recitation of the wai khru chant, which expresses respect for and gratitude to the teachers, and asks for the teachers’ blessing on their studies. The way to pay respect is to sit in front of the teacher on the stage. They will bow and bow down to the ground while the teacher strokes his head or encourages them. Rubbing his head at first felt a little strange, but later learned that it was a symbol of passing on knowledge.
