Kenyan science teacher Peter Tabichi wins global prize

Image captionA science teacher from rural Kenya, who gives away most of his salary to support poorer pupils, has won a $1m prize for the world's best teacher.Brother Peter has been praised for his achievements in a deprived school with crowded classes and few text books.The award, announced in a ceremony in Dubai, recognises the"exceptional" teacher's commitment to pupils in a remote part of Kenya's Rift Valley.

"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."Many pupils walk more than four miles to reach the school, in Kenya's Rift Valley

Classes meant to have 35 to 40 pupils are taught in groups of 70 or 80, which, he says, means overcrowded classrooms and problems for teachers.

Great. Congratulations. Someone should tell trump that maybe he shouldn’t further cut science budget and further fall behind China technologically.
