A secondary maths and physics teacher in Kenya has received the $1 million Global Teacher Prize.
The Dubai-based foundation Varkry has given the prize to Peter Tabichi, a 36-year-old teacher from the Keriko Mixed Day Secondary School in the remote village of Pwani.
He has been commended for his work in leading his poorly-resourced school to victory after taking on the country’s best schools in national science competitions.
He also gives away 80 percent of his monthly income to the poor.
