A teacher from a remote, poverty-ridden village in Kenya, Peter Tabichi, has been declared the world's best teacher and awarded $1 million during a glitzy ceremony in Dubai on Sunday. Tabichi paid tribute to Africa's youth after winning the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize.
Tabichi, 36, is a maths and physics teacher at Keriko Secondary School in Kenya's Pwani Village. His school has only one computer powered by a weak Internet connection.

After this, my father - a primary school teacher - had to do everything for the sake of the family, including preparing meals and educating us. Most importantly, instilling moral and ethical values in us. He told us to be hardworking, God-fearing, humble, selfless and resilient," Tabichi said.
