Indian schools urged to compete for World’s Best School Prizes 2023
The winners will be announced in October 2023. The amount of $250,000 will be shared equally among the winners of the five prizes, with each receiving an award of $50,000
Outstanding schools in India are being encouraged to enter the $250,000 World’s Best School Prizes 2023 as applications opened in London this week. The new prize, launched last year, celebrates schools worldwide for the important role they play and for their contribution to society’s progress, especially in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
As per a report published in The Print, the organisers point out that more schools in India were shortlisted for the inaugural prizes than any other country, with SDMC Primary School Lajpat Nagar III in New Delhi making the Top 10 shortlist for the World’s Best School Prize for Innovation 2022. “We founded the World’s Best School Prizes to create the conversations that lead to lasting change,” said Vikas Pota, Founder of UK-headquartered T4 Education, which is behind the prizes.
5 World’s Best School Prizes
The five World’s Best School Prizes – for Community Collaboration, Environmental Action, Innovation, Overcoming Adversity, and Supporting Healthy Lives – were founded by digital media platform T4 Education in partnership with Accenture and American Express.
They are conceptualised as a grassroots solution to help build systemic change and give inspirational schools a global platform, allow them to share their best practices, and help others replicate their innovative ideas.
The winners will be announced in October 2023 when the $250,000 will be shared equally among the winners of the five prizes, with each receiving an award of $50,000.
The shortlisted schools will share their best practice through virtual seminars and showcase their expertise through School Transformation Toolkits, with step-by-step instructions on how others can replicate their innovative approaches to help improve education everywhere.
Prizes open to all schools
The prizes are open to all schools who teach students in compulsory schooling, and are legally registered with their respective Ministry of Education or government regulatory authority, including early childhood centres, kindergarten, primary and secondary schools, and online schools. They can apply to compete for next year's prizes by March 15 deadline at worldsbestschool.org.
