Andria Zafirakou, who teaches at Alperton Community School, has won the prestigious Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize. The award, which recognises a teacher who has made an outstanding contribution to the profession, has a prize of $1 million . And the 39-year has guided youngsters from one of the poorest areas of the country and helped pupils from a variety of backgrounds. This included learning basic greetings in many of the 35 languages spoken at the school, including Gujarati, Hindi, Tamil and Portuguese, to help parents feel welcome and included. Ms Zafirakou, the first British teacher to be awarded the prize, paid tribute to the power of the arts after being named the winner. She said: ‘I was shocked. I was completely overwhelmed. I didn’t realise it was me.’ Asked what she will do with the prize money, she said: ‘I’m going to be patient, I’m going to reflect, but as you know I think it would be really fantastic if I could think about how the arts could be celebrated even further within our school community.’ AP http://newshelm.ng/photos-worlds-best-teacherandria-zafirakou-wins-1m/ cc lalasticlala mynd44 10 Likes |

That is some whooping 360m. But how did they arrive at the conclusion that he is the world's best teacher? Did they take samples from Nigeria? I know mental slaves will scream at the top of their voices asking why I mentioned Nigerian teachers, there are Nigerians teaching in most advanced obodo oyibo and are doing better than their oyibo counterparts. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Congratulations to her but calling her "world's best teacher" is just absurd. On what basis was she chosen as the world best? What parameters were used? What kind of survey was carried out? There are more and even better devoted teachers all over the world so calling someone world's best out of the blues is just a fallacy. 2 Likes |
