How does Singapore mark Teachers' Day?
Teachers' Day
- Local date
- September 4, 2026
- When is it?
- The last day of Term 3; the Singapore school calendar can move it, usually in early September
Singapore's Teachers' Day is a school-calendar observance rather than a national public holiday. The 2026 school calendar used by MOE schools places it on Friday 4 September, the last day of Term 3. Future dates follow the annual school calendar, and schools use the day for student-led appreciation activities.
