Announcing the Tenth Global Teacher Prize is now open for applications and nominations!

The Tenth Global Teacher Prize, in partnership with GEMS Education, is now open for applications and nominations until 1 September 2025!

Calling all Teachers! The Global Teacher Prize is a US $1 million award presented to an exceptional teacher who has made an outstanding contribution to their profession.

The Global Teacher Prize serves to underline the importance of educators and the fact that, throughout the world, their efforts deserve to be recognised and celebrated. It seeks to acknowledge the impacts of the very best teachers – not only on their students but on the communities around them.

Applicants for the Global Teacher Prize will be judged on a rigorous set of criteria to identify an extraordinary teacher who has made an outstanding contribution to the profession.

The winner will be chosen by the prominent Global Teacher Prize Academy made up of head-teachers, educational experts, commentators, journalists, public officials, tech entrepreneurs, company directors and scientists from around the world.

The closing date for applications and nominations is 1 September 2025 08:00 AM (GMT).
