A Kenyan mathematics and physics teacher who donates 80% of his salary to help young impoverished students has won the world’s best teacher award.
According to BBC, Peter Tabichi was awarded the fifth Varkey Foundation $1 million Global Teacher Prize at a ceremony hosted by actor Hugh Jackman in Dubai on Sunday.
Receiving the price, Peter emphasized the potential of Africa’s young population. He wants pupils to see “science is the way to go” for their futures. He said:

As a teacher working on the front line I have seen the promise of its young people – their curiosity, talent, their intelligence, their belief.

Africa’s young people will no longer be held back by low expectations. Africa will produce scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs whose names will be one day famous in every corner of the world. And girls will be a huge part of this story.

It’s morning in Africa. The skies are clear. The day is young and there is a blank page waiting to be written. This is Africa’s time.
