The day you're referring to is often celebrated as "Student-Teacher Day" or "Student Leadership Day", and in some schools, it's known as "Teacher's Day Celebration by Students" or "Students as Teachers Day".
Explanation: A Day When Students Take Over as Teachers and Principals
This special day is designed to give students the opportunity to step into the roles of their teachers and school leaders — like the principal, coordinators, or subject heads. The aim is to build responsibility, leadership, empathy, and appreciation for the hard work that educators do every day.
What Happens on This Day:
- Role Reversal:
Selected students are assigned to act as class teachers, subject teachers, or even as the principal.
They teach lessons, take attendance, make announcements, and manage the class.
- Leadership Experience:
A student acting as the principal may address the school in the morning assembly, visit classes, and observe teaching — just like a real school leader.
- Planning and Preparation:
Students plan their lessons in advance, sometimes with help from real teachers.
They also prepare speeches, classroom activities, or even assessments.
- Realization and Respect:
Students experience the responsibilities, challenges, and multitasking that teachers face daily.
It helps them develop respect for educators and understand the value of teaching.
- Fun and Celebration:
Teachers get to relax or participate in fun activities while students take charge.
It often ends with performances, speeches, or a celebration in honor of teachers.
