Both prizes are also a reflection on the efforts of teachers in preparing youngsters for the future and the potential their achieving students are displaying in their learning journeys. They will collate inspirational stories from both sides of education.<\/p>\n

Teachers who apply for the Global Teacher Prize will be evaluated on:<\/p>\n

Teaching practices<\/b><\/p>\n

Students applying for the Global Student Prize will be assessed on:<\/p>\n

Sunny Varkey, the philanthropist behind the initiative said: \u201cBoth these prizes have been launched to highlight the importance of education in tackling the great challenges ahead \u2013 from climate change to growing inequality to global pandemics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s winner, Ranjitsinh Disale, shared half his winnings with the other Top 10 finalists.<\/p>\n

Candidates for both prizes will be shortlisted down to the Top 50 and then a Top 10 finalist list.<\/p>\n
