Across India, Teachers' Day gives school students an opportunity to acknowledge contributions of their teachers who influence education and personal growth. The occasion is observed on Sept. 5 each year to mark the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who served as India's first Vice-President and later became the country's second President. He was also widely recognised for his work as a philosopher, scholar and educator.
Students in Classes 3 to 7 do not need an elaborate script to make their Teachers' Day speech memorable. A brief and genuine message, expressed in easy-to-understand language, can often connect better with the audience than a speech filled with complex words.
These short Teachers' Day speeches in English are suitable for students in Classes 3 to 7 and can be presented during school celebrations.
Tip: Students can personalise the speech by adding their teacher's name or mentioning one thing they enjoy learning in class.

Teachers have a lasting influence on our lives. They help us discover what we are good at and make difficult lessons easier.

Teachers' Day Speech For Class 4
Good morning to our respected Principal, to all our teachers, and to my friends.
Today is the 5th of September. It is Teachers' Day. We celebrate it on this date because it is the birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. He was a teacher for many years, and later he became the President of India. When his students wanted to celebrate his birthday, he asked them to celebrate all the teachers instead. So that is what we do.
Our teachers come early. They patiently check our work and never give up on helping us learn.
Thank you, teachers. Happy Teachers' Day.
Teachers' Day Speech For Class 5
Respected Principal, respected teachers, and my dear friends. A very good morning to all of you, and a very happy Teachers' Day.
Today, the 5th of September, is celebrated as Teachers' Day in our country. We chose this date for a reason. It is the birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, born in 1888, who taught in classrooms for many years before he became the second President of India. When people asked to celebrate his birthday, he asked them to celebrate teachers instead. India began observing Teachers' Day on September 5 in 1962.
Our teachers do a smaller version of that every single day. They give their time away. On behalf of my whole class, thank you for all the hours you give us that nobody counts.
Happy Teachers' Day to every teacher here.
