The Varkey Foundation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Varkey Foundation was associated with the United Nations Department of Public Information on 23 June 2017. The Varkey Foundation seeks to provide underprivileged children with high-quality education by training and incentivizing teachers around the world. The Varkey Foundation offers extensive tutoring for teachers to implement their training in Varkey\u2019s satellite schools. These solar-powered institutions seek to provide high-quality education for children in refugee camps and poverty-stricken areas throughout Africa and South America. The Varkey Foundation has also created a Global Teacher Status Index which compares teachers across 21 countries; it is the first in-depth comparison of its kind, which offers the \u201cNobel Prize for teaching\u201d recognition to one worthy candidate. Finalists for this teaching prize have been designated as Varkey Teacher Ambassadors since they exemplify passion for and dedication to education. At its annual Global Education & Skills Forum, the Varkey Foundation collaborates with UNESCO to identify and research the challenges of global education.
