The teacher in the image is Peter Tabichi, a Kenyan science teacher and Franciscan friar who taught at a secondary school in the rural Rift Valley region of Kenya.

Under his guidance, students participated in national and international competitions, often outperforming schools with far greater funding.

In 2019, he won the Global Teacher Prize, an international award created by the Varkey Foundation and often described as the world’s most prestigious teaching award.

The prize included a $1 million award.
