Fundado en 2025 por el reconocido pionero de la educación y filántropo de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, Sunny Varkey, el Premio Global de Escuelas se une al Premio Global de Maestros y al Premio Global de Estudiantes, también fundados por él, completando una poderosa trilogía que celebra a educadores, estudiantes y, ahora, a las escuelas como instituciones de innovación y cambio.
#THANKSMR.VARKEY https://globalteacherprize.org/pages/global-schools-prize
The Global Schools Prize is a call to reimagine learning for a world in constant motion. It is more than an award – it’s a movement to scale the best ideas in education. In recognising multiple winners, we want to highlight the many ways schools are driving change – from innovation and teacher development to sustainability and student wellbeing. By shining a light on institutions that are redefining what education can be, we can spark a global conversation about the future of learning, and inspire action that resonates far beyond the classroom.”
