10 Finalists announced for the $1M Global Teacher Prize

These are the 10 best teach­ers in the world (Glob­al Teacher Prize announcement):

“We’ve all had teach­ers who have inspired us, who have made a dif­fer­ence to our lives.

Teach­ers have the pow­er to make or break lives. A great les­son can inspire a pas­sion for a sub­ject that lasts a life­time, while lack­lus­tre teach­ing can kill any desire for learning.

Teach­ers who make a sig­nif­i­cant dif­fer­ence in their stu­dents’ lives – some­times against all odds – deserve to be celebrated.

The Glob­al Teacher Prize does just that, award­ing $1 mil­lion to an excep­tion­al teacher who has made an out­stand­ing con­tri­bu­tion to their profession.”

These are the Top 10 Final­ists for the 2017 Glob­al Teacher Prize. The win­ner will be announced on Sun­day, March 19th, 2017, at the Glob­al Edu­ca­tion and Skills Forum in Dubai. Our very own CEO & Edi­tor-In-Chief Alvaro Fer­nan­dez is one of the Judges with the chal­leng­ing task of review­ing 10 fan­tas­tic can­di­dates and select­ing one winner.
