World Teachers’ Day is celebrated annually around the world on 5 October, aiming to honor teachers, recognize their invaluable contribution to education, and advocate for the teaching profession, marking the anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 UNESCO/ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers. Sixty years after the adoption of the Recommendation, standing with teachers means turning recognition into action. In their joint message for World Teachers’ Day 2026, the leadership of UNESCO, ILO, UNICEF and Education International reminded us that “the value we place on teachers reflects the value we place on future generations.”Across the English- and Dutch-speaking Caribbean, UNESCO supports teachers through capacity-building and training in areas such as health and family life education, AI in education, addressing gender bias and discrimination through education, global citizenship education, and strengthening the collection and analysis of education data in classrooms and beyond. Valuing teachers means recognizing their expertise, investing in their professional development and ensuring they have the support they need to shape the future of education.

Illustration by Ben Marra / MLB.com On Oct. 3, 1951 -- 75 years ago tomorrow -- Jerry Austin was in the second grade at P. S. 75 in the South Bronx, counting the minutes until he could run from the classroom. The night before, he had seen a headline about a big game that would air on TV. That “big game” was the Brooklyn Dodgers taking on the New York Giants in the third and final game of a tiebreaker playoff for the National League pennant. There was only one problem: “We didn’t have a TV,” Austin told MLB.com. “I didn’t know anybody who had a TV. My mother or father then said, ‘There’s a TV at the five-and-dime on Westchester Avenue.’” Though he had first been taken on a trip to the Polo Grounds by his father a few years before, Austin was young enough that he didn’t quite understand what this contest was really all about. He just knew it was something important and he wanted to be a part of it. “When school ends, I run to the five-and-dime, which is in the complete opposite direction from where I lived, because I heard they had a small TV to see this big event,” Austin recalled.
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA | OCTOBER 1, 2026 – A new report prepared by KPMG for the British Columbia Maritime Employers Association (BCMEA) highlights DP World’s terminal at the Port of Vancouver as a case study in how investment in people, infrastructure and technology can expand Canada’s trade capacity while supporting a growing and evolving waterfront workforce. Technology, Training & Job Growth at Canada’s West Coast Ports: 2009 to 2025 examines 16 years of modernization at B. C. ports. The report finds that growth in cargo volume and port capacity has occurred alongside significant growth in the waterfront workforce, payroll hours and investment in training and skills. DP World’s decade-long, $600 million Centerm Expansion Project combined investment in infrastructure, technology and process improvements, including a 75-metre berth extension, expanded on-terminal rail, automated truck gates, upgraded planning systems and remote semi-automated equipment. The results demonstrate that capacity-oriented modernization and growth in waterfront work can occur together when investment in infrastructure and technology is paired with investment in people and skills.
