"Each one, teach one."

- Appropriated phrase of many pro-education movements, calling attention to the way we all are responsible for the advancement of others we encounter, incidentally or intentionally.

Today is UNESCO World Teachers' Day: "The UNESCO Institute for Statistics estimates that to achieve the goal of universal primary education by 2020 countries will need to recruit a total of 12.6 million primary teachers. Teachers’ Day on October 5 highlights the fact that teachers must be empowered as a critical step towards quality education and sustainable societies."
