WE CELEBRATE
To give the prestige the teachers deserve and to inspire other colleagues, we acknowledge their work on a global level and we highlight the crucial nature of their role for the development of any society.
We also celebrated those students who long and work for transforming the world they live in.
The Global Teacher Prize, carried out in collaboration with UNESCO, is an annual prize of a million dollars that is awarded to an outstanding and commited teacher that has had an inspiring impact on his/her school and community. By making thousands of stories of daily heroes that transform young people´s lives known, this prize has the aim of acknowledging the outstanding work of millions of teachers all over the world.
Every year, the 50 top finalists of the prize are celebrated and recorgnised in their countries. They, as education ambassadors, constitute a network known as Global Teacher Prize Ambassadors.

PUBLIC ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
A national campaign, led by the Varkey Foundation and MDZ, seeks to raise awareness on the importance of the teaching task with real-life stories and faces, so that the entire society recognises the important work that educators do and supports them in this crucial mission.
Acknowledge our teachers
In the largest cities as well as in the most remote areas, thousands of teachers transform the lives of more than 12 millions of Argentine students that attend their schools to develop an extraordinary action: learning.
With their tireless dedication, commitment, and expertise, each teacher realises what each student is capable of being in a quiet feat that will shape his/her own destiny and the one of the community this student will forge his/her future in.
But those great teachers, that we will remember forever, not always get their truly deserved acknowledgement.
This is the reason why a national campaign, led by the Varkey Fundation and MDZol, seeks to raise awareness on the importance of the teaching task with real-life stories and faces.
The aim of the iniative is that the entire society knows about the important work that educators do and supports them in this crucial mission.
