I am looking forward to meeting Lado Apkhazava and inquire about his teaching style – Founder of Global Teacher 2019 and Chairman of Varkey Foundation Vikas Pota told First Channel.

Pota talked about Apkhazava, teacher of Chibati Public School who qualified for the Top 10 Finalists for the Global Teacher Prize 2019. “I, personally, am in love with this person. . . . Lado is an extraordinary person and has a big chance of winning,” Pota said.

The winner will receive a sold monetary award- USD 1 million. Pota also talked about the person who won the prize last year.

The full interview with Pota will go on the air of Georgian radio Program “World News” on Sunday at 10:30.

“Our Top 10 come from all corners of the globe. From teaching in remote towns and villages to inner-city schools, they advocate for inclusivity and for child rights, integrate migrants into classrooms, and nurture their students’ abilities and confidence using music, technology, robotics and science.

They are all champions for change and are inspiring their students and communities around them, and we salute them!” reads the web-page of Verkey Foundation at https://www.globalteacherprize.org/finalists/2019-finalists
