The Department of Education on Friday, Oct. 22, announced that a science teacher from Cebu is among this year’s finalists of the prestigious Global Teacher Prize .Bryant Acar from Science and Technology Education Center – Senior High School in Basak, Lapu-Lapu City has made it to the Top 10 of the 2021 GTP.
Acar joined nine other finalists from other countries vying for the 1 million USD award presented annually to an exceptional teacher who has made an outstanding contribution to their profession.“There are so many teachers with high qualifications and great accomplishments, so many of us are clueless as to who will make it to the list,” he added.Before landing a job at STEC-SHS, Acar used to hold a comfortable teaching post in a university.
With his perseverance and love for science, he has trained his students, used his connections to universities to link his school to laboratories that they can use to practice, and developed teaching modules, textbooks, worksheets, and learning resources replicated by 10 neighboring SHS. “The platform may have changed to online but a motivated teacher will always find a way to rise to the occasion,” Acar said.If he wins the award, Acar is eyeing to build GTP Learning Hub in his school, equipped with an audio-video system and internet cables with tablets where students and teachers can do research, training, and conference.
