The Global Teacher prize will be
given to a teacher who has achieved exceptional results in student learning,
and has won the respect of parents and the community through activities beyond
the classroom. He/she will have provided a role model to other teachers through
charity, community work or other cultural achievements, and will also have
opened up access to quality education for children of all backgrounds, enabling
them become ‘global citizens’, comfortable with peers from different ethnic and
religious backgrounds.
The award, the equivalent of a
‘Nobel Prize’, will underline the importance of the teaching profession and
symbolise the fact that teachers throughout the world deserve to be recognised
and celebrated.
President Bill Clinton, Honorary
Chairman of the Varkey GEMS Foundation, said:"Attracting the best people
to teaching, developing and supporting their skills, and holding our teachers
in high regard are all critically important to achieve excellence, both in
teaching and learning.”
The nomination of Oando Foundation
on the judging academy is evidence that the Foundation’s work within the
education sector is recognized and presents the Foundation with another
opportunity to improve the status of teachers in Nigeria.
Wale Tinubu, the Group CEO has
urged Nigerians to participate and nominate teachers who they believe are
hardworking and deserve to win this award as he believes it is a good
opportunity to appreciate teachers in Nigeria and the great work they do. The
closing date for applications will be August 31, 2014, and the winner will be
announced at the Global Education and Skills Forum 2015 in Dubai, UAE.
