All of the teachers in our final shortlist have taken their work far beyond what is generally expected of a teacher. In the classroom they have inspired and enlightened their pupils, but their innovative and original approaches to education have ensured the impact of their work has touched communities beyond their schools, both locally and globally.
The winner of the prize will be announced at the Global Education and Skills Forum in Dubai on Sunday 18th March 2018. |
