Kuala Lumpur: Google has come up with its doodle today May 16, 2012 in Malaysia with a theme Happy Teacher’s Day.
However, the Teachers Day is celebrated
across the world on October 5 every year but today the day is being
celebrated in Malaysia.
This
date was chosen because on the same day in 1956, the Federal
Legislative Council of the Federation of Malaya endorsed the Razak
Report, one of four reports of the Education Committee regarding
education in Malaysia.
The document, known as the Razak Report
after Tun Abdul Razak who was Education Minister at the time, has been
the basis of education in Malaysia ever since. Although it is not an
official school holiday, celebrations are usually held on May 16, or
earlier, if it falls on a Saturday or Sunday.
UNESCO has recognised the day by
adopting the “Recommendation concerning the status of teachers” and
World Teachers’ Day has been celebrated annually on October 5.
