It is the birthday of former Indian president and a teacher himself: Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan.
Traditionally, people in India have given tremendous respect and honor for teachers. In fact an old Indian saying (usually taught to children), ranks teacher in the third place, even before God: "Maata, Pitha, Guru, Daivam", meaning Mother, Father, Teacher and God.
As the central piece in Hindu scriptures go - 'Guru Bramha, Guru Vishnu, Guru devo Maheshwaraha - Gurusakshath parabramha tasmai shree gurve namaha - Teacher is the holy Trinity. Teacher is the manifestation of the lord himself.
