World’s top teacher to win $1m prize A competition to find the world’s best teacher is to be launched next year, with a prize of $1m (£620,000). It has been announced by the Varkey Gems Foundation and Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, United Arab Emirates vice-president and ruler of Dubai. The foundation is the charitable arm of an international chain of private schools, which recently published a report into teacher status. Teachers are the “real agents of change” said Sheikh Al Maktoum. Details of the competition are expected to be announced early next year - with nominations to be opened at the Global Education and Skills Forum to be held in Dubai in March. There will be nominations from individual countries and then an international judging process. Source: geebd/view_News_Details.aspx?news_Id=398&type_Id=14b771ca-1f83-4e90-8bf9-171aaffeb341
