Indian educator Rouble Nagi has been awarded the $1 million Global Teacher Prize at the World Government Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, for her remarkable work in expanding access to education. She becomes the 10th recipient of this prestigious award that was launched in 2015 to recognise exceptional teachers making a global impact. Through the Rouble Nagi Art Foundation, she has established more than 800 learning centres across more than 100 low-income communities and villages in India. Her approach is unconventional—she uses murals to teach science, mathematics and history, turning community walls into interactive learning spaces.
