Find the date, origins, and traditions of Costa Rica Teachers' Day to explore local cultural customs.
Observed on November 22.
It honors educator Mauro Fernández Acuña.
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
Costa Rica’s Día de la Maestra y del Maestro, also called Costa Rican Teachers’ Day, falls on November 22 each year. The Ministry of Public Education says the observance honors educator Mauro Fernández Acuña and was declared in 1915 under Executive Decree No. 16. The annual date is easy to mix up with Teachers’ Days elsewhere, so keep the country attached when you add it to a calendar or compare international observances.
This page pairs the recurring date with a countdown to its next occurrence. It is a date reference, not a calendar of school events, closures, or public services.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
No date or other input is required. Open the page to see the observance date and the time remaining until the next November 22. The countdown changes with the current date; the annual observance date and its historical background do not.
Confirm that the page identifies Costa Rica and November 22, rather than another country’s Teachers’ Day.
Before November 22, the countdown points to that year’s observance. On the date itself, the page marks the day; afterward, the next annual cycle is the relevant one.
If you are planning a school visit, class activity, or public-service errand, consult the school or responsible local office for that year’s schedule.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
Use November 22 as the date for a greeting or lesson about Costa Rican education, then ask the school whether it has planned an activity.
Record the country, local name, and date together. “Teachers’ Day” alone is ambiguous because countries choose different dates.
Use the Costa Rican calendar date as the reference for correspondence. Confirm the local time and venue with the host if an event is involved.
The countdown helps with date awareness; it does not establish whether an individual school is in session or hosting a celebration.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
It is observed every year on November 22, according to Costa Rica’s Ministry of Public Education.
The name refers to observances in many countries. Check that a result is specifically about Costa Rica; another country’s September date does not change Costa Rica’s November 22 observance.
No. It counts to the annual date. School calendars, events, and service hours should be confirmed with the relevant institution.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
The Ministry source establishes the observance date and gives a brief historical account. It does not provide an up-to-date schedule for every school, municipality, or public service. Confirm any planned activity or closure with the organization responsible before making arrangements.
