The US$1 million award established by the Varkey Foundation in partnership with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, is in its 6th year. Announced Opeifa, among others as a top ten finalist, English comedian, Stephen Fry said: “Today I am delighted to announce that Olasunkanmi Opeifa from Nigeria is a top ten finalist for the Global Teacher Prize 2020. Also, Assistant Director-General for Education at UNESCO, Stefania Giannini, said, “Congratulations to Olasunkanmi Opeifa for being selected as a top ten finalist from such a huge number of talented and dedicated teachers.

Wow! This is highly commendable, having taught for 3 years myself, I can attest to the fact that being a teacher isn't easy. It takes zeal, selflessness, patience and some other qualities to be a great teacher. 86 Likes 1 Share |
