At Cambridge, we are incredibly proud of teachers; they are the key to inspiring children to engage in, and benefit from education so that they may go on to shape the world. We believe that the role of a school is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and empower students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and productive global citizens.
The Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards provide a platform to celebrate teachers worldwide. We invite you to nominate a current primary or secondary teacher who has made a difference. We shortlist 90 teachers from the nominations and a judging panel select our nine regional winners.
The public then vote to determine the global winner of the Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards. For full terms and conditions, go to our privacy page.
