The teacher who gives his pay to the poor
Peter Tabichi is a science teacher and Franciscan Brother who gives away 80% of his monthly income to help the poor. Thanks to Peter's dedication, hard work and passionate belief in his students, his poorly-resourced school in remote rural Kenya is now winning national and international science competitions.
Peter was awarded the 2019 Global Teacher Prize, a $US1 million award from the Varkey Foundation to a teacher who has made an outstanding contribution to the profession.
Peter teaches at Keriko Mixed Day Secondary School in Pwani Village, situated in a remote, semi-arid part of Kenya’s Rift Valley. Here, students from a host of diverse cultures and religions learn in poorly equipped classrooms.
Peter's lecture begins at the 07:55 mark.
The Global Teacher Prize lecture was recorded at the UCL Institute of Education on 30 September 2019. More information: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/events/2019/sep/evening-peter-tabichi-winner-2019-global-teacher-prize
