This program, run by the Varkey Foundation in the United Kingdom, has become known as the 'Nobel Prize for Teaching.' Any teacher on the planet can apply or be nominated, and ultimately one teacher wins a $1 million award! Each year, thousands of teachers apply, and the Top 50 teachers in the world for that year are determined and named Top 50 Finalists. Someone from that group will win the prize, but all 50 will be part of the Global Teacher Prize Ambassador Program.
The Top 50 Finalists cohorts can be found here for each year it has been run. Note that from the Top 50, a group of Top 10 Finalists is selected, and one of them will be the winner. Go here to find 2025's Top 10 Finalists. Yours truly is in the first group of finalists from 2015. The photo below is the group of American teachers from our summit and conference in Dubai, from 2018; it was about one month after the Parkland shootings that we had this meeting, to talk about school safety.
