The Global Education and Skills Forum (GESF, also known as the “Davos of Education”) meets at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai, starting tomorrow. This year, through the theme of ‘How do we make ‘Real’ global citizens?’, the Global Education & Skills Forum is challenging its delegates to consider what we need to teach our children and how we can move those lessons to action.
The Global Teacher Prize, also known as the “Oscars” of education will be awarded on the 2nd day i.e. 19th March 2017 of the Global Education & Skills Forum. Instituted by the Varkey Foundation in 2015, the Global Teacher Prize is a $1million award to recognise exceptional teaching!
We decided to look at the buzz and news on #GESF and Global Teacher Prize and share it with our readers using the micro-blogging site Twitter. Here are a few tweets to bring you up to date on GESF:
