Indian teacher Ranjitsinh Disale wins annual $1M Global Teacher Prize; shares half with 9 finalists

Top teacher wins $1m and gives half away (BBC News):

Mr Disale, who teach­es in the Zil­la Parishad Pri­ma­ry School, in the drought-prone vil­lage of Parite­wa­di, in the west­ern Indi­an state of Maha­rash­tra, was named the world’s most excep­tion­al teacher, ahead of 12,000 oth­er nom­i­na­tions … He also pro­vides online sci­ence lessons for pupils in 83 coun­tries and runs an inter­na­tion­al project build­ing con­nec­tions between young peo­ple in con­flict zones.

The Covid pan­dem­ic has dealt a severe blow to edu­ca­tion sys­tems around the world… but it is the con­tri­bu­tion of teach­ers dur­ing these dif­fi­cult times that is mak­ing the dif­fer­ence,” said Ste­fa­nia Gian­ni­ni, assis­tant direc­tor gen­er­al of Unesco, a part­ner in the competition.
