About the
Varkey Foundation
At the Varkey Foundation, we believe in a quality education for every child. That’s why, together with our partners, we work to build the status of teachers to ensure that the quality of teaching is enhanced, and outcomes will improve. Our vision is a quality education for every child – through boosting the status of teachers and celebrating the profession.
Teachers matter. Every day, in classrooms around the world, teachers do amazing things. But too often, their work goes unrecognised and unrewarded.
Our Global Prizes
The Global Teacher Prize and Global Student Prize emphasize the critical role educators and students play in shaping the future. These awards recognize and celebrate the remarkable efforts of teachers and students worldwide, highlighting their significant impact on their communities and beyond.
