Global Teacher Prize 2020

Global Teacher Prize is a US $1 million award presented annually to an exceptional teacher who has made an outstanding contribution to their profession.
The Global Teacher Prize serves to underline the importance of educators and the fact that, throughout the world, their efforts deserve to be recognised and celebrated. It seeks to acknowledge the impacts of the very best teachers – not only on their students but on the communities around them.

Teachers must spend at least 10 hours per week teaching children face-to-face, and plan to remain in the teaching profession for the next 5 years. The Prize is open to teachers in every kind of school and, subject to local laws, in every country in the world.

The closing date for applications is 29th September 2019, and the winner will be announced at the Global Education and Skills Forum in Dubai in March 2020. The Varkey Foundation decision on eligibility is final.

1. Employing effective instructional practices that are replicable and scalable to influence the quality of education globally.

3. Achieving demonstrable student learning outcomes in the classroom.

4. Impact in the community beyond the classroom that provide unique and distinguished models of excellence for the teaching profession and others.

5. Helping children become global citizens through providing them with a values-based education that equips them for a world where they will potentially live, work and socialise with people from many different nationalities, cultures and religions.

6. Improving the teaching profession through helping to raise the bar of teaching, sharing best practice, and helping colleagues overcome any challenges they face in their school.

7. Teacher recognition from governments, national teaching organisations, head-teachers, colleagues, members of the wider community or pupils.
