Teacher from remote Kenya village is world's best, wins $1m

DUBAI - A maths and physics teacher from a secondary school in a remote village in Kenya's Rift Valley has won the $1 million Global Teacher Prize for 2019, organisers have said.

The Dubai-based Varkey Foundation, which organises the event and handed out the prize for the fifth time, praised Tabichi's "dedication, hard work and passionate belief in his students' talent". Around 95% of the school's pupils "hail from poor families, almost a third are orphans or have only one parent, and many go without food at home," the statement added.
