The story

World Teachers' Day Tonga Parade in Nuku'alofa

World Teachers' Day in Tonga is marked with a public parade through Nuku'alofa's central business district, in which teachers from across Tongatapu march together as part of a program organized by the Ministry of Education and Training.

Most countries mark World Teachers' Day, the international observance recognizing the teaching profession, with events confined largely to individual schools: assemblies, small ceremonies, occasional media coverage of an outstanding teacher.
