Good teachers key to improving education standards — Ko Chung Sen | Malay Mail

APRIL 1 — A maths and physics teacher from a remote village in Kenya won the prestigious Global Teacher Prize this year. Peter Tabichi was announced the recipient of the US$1 million prize at a ceremony last month in Dubai, beating 10,000 nominations from 179 countries.

What Tabichi achieved confirmed that good teachers with love and care can make all the difference whatever the limitations. The dedication and concern for the children can overcome all obstacles. In Finland, teaching programmes are the most rigorous and selective professional schools in the entire country. Highly prestigious, the teaching profession is immensely popular that only one in 10 applicants is accepted each year. The “lucky” successful applicants are selected based on various criteria across a broad spectrum and not those with highest academic scores. Academically best students are not necessarily the best teachers.
