CZECH REPUBLIC: TEACHER'S DAY
Teachers will be celebrated today throughout the Czech Republic.
This day marks the birth of Jan Amos Komensky, a Moravian education
reformer, said to have been the first person to write an illustrated
textbook for children. (His Visible World of Pictures was published
in 1658 to help teach Latin words.) On this day, children bring
flowers and gifts to their teachers.
The illustrated book was only one of Komensky's revolutionary ideas for teaching.
Komensky is also known by the name John Amos Comenius. He is
sometimes called the Father of Modern Education.
