Kenyan Teacher Shortlisted for Global Award

A Kenyan teacher is poised to scoop the prestigious Global Teacher Award for his transformative work in education.

Dominic Ming’ate Orina, a teacher from Kurugwet Primary School in Bomet County, is toughening it out with 50 other contestants for the grand prize of $1 million (Sh129 million).

The 34-year-old took to social media to express his gratitude after being shortlisted.

“I am overwhelmed and honoured to let you know that I have been shortlisted for the top 50 of the 9th Global Teacher Prize!” he posted on Facebook on January 20.

Orina earned recognition for integrating practical skills and learner-centred approaches to deliver learning and empower the community through agriculture.

To support to his cause, the school’s head teacher provided a portion of land for students to conduct vegetable and rabbit farming.

In 2021, Orina and his students embarked on a farming project where they grew vegetables. Outside the classroom, Orina is running his ‘Dress Me Up Initiative’ that supports needy students with school uniforms.

The winner will be announced at the World Governments Summit in Dubai from February 11-13.
