Origen of the party:
Teacher's Day is a holiday in
which we commemorate the people who make teaching their usual work as teachers.

date of this celebration varies between different countries , while UNESCO
suggests doing on October 5 , a practice that has been followed by many
nations.
In 1943 , the First Conference of
Ministers and Directors of Education of the American Republics , held in Panama
, also proposed a unified date for the entire continent ; being chosen on
September 11 , anniversary of the death of the statesman and Argentine educator
Domingo Faustino Sarmiento . This date has continued commemorated in Argentina
, but has been abandoned in the rest of the continent .Important Events
In 1920, President Alfredo Baquerizo Moreno decreed
that on April 13 (the day he was born the famous and immortal writer Juan Maria
Montalvo Ambato Fiallos in 1832) is Teacher's Day Ecuadorian.
The life and work of Juan Montalvo were and remain
magisterial teachings for
their moral and aesthetic value. As forger of youth, Juan Montalvo knew the
inescapable need to instill in young people the values of justice, freedom,
honor, love of country. Juan Montalvo was the master of style, the great
battler against tyrannies, the apostle of freedom, the saint of rebellion.
Montalvo said: "Those who have not lost hope, live for freedom; since
reason enlightens us, discurramos. A society that meets the face of the sun, no
bad purposes; and being good yours is lawful thing and nothing threatening
social community or for governments. We have seen tiranuelos dissolve through
force family gatherings; others we have seen the police sort closing any group
of three people pass. That's more than tyranny, is barbarism; more than barbarism, ineptitude; more than ineptitude, infamy.
" In honor of this Juan huge Montalvo, the only one who dared to imitate Cervantes,
today celebrates the Day of the Ecuadorian Master, to pay a fair and deserved
tribute to those women and men who have the unique ability to
be drivers of childhood and youth. Today as yesterday, Ecuador needs of teachers, not only to give
instruction, but especially to form the soul of adolescents and
young people, to save democracy and the dignity of the country, to prepare men clean and clear soul and of will
powerful, they are able to defend what Ecuador has reached today: physical and
moral dignity.
