As a first step, they must turn to the knowledge and experience contained within our schools because those on the frontlines of education know better than anyone else the change we need to see.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe founded the World\u2019s Best School Prizes to&nbsp;<\/em><em>surface the expertise of trailblazing schools from every corner of the globe so that leaders can learn from&nbsp;<\/em><em>their incredible stories.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>About the school<\/u><\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project Shelter Wakadogo&nbsp;<\/strong>in Gulu, Uganda, has flourished from a school with only two classrooms founded in the wake of war to now educating over 450 children with one of the highest student retention rates in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the aftermath of two decades of civil war and the violence committed by the Lord\u2019s Resistance Army, which displaced over a million people in Northern Uganda, families in the village of Pece Acoyo in Gulu were slowly returning to their homes. Amongst the wreckage left by the war, calls for a safe, quality school began to grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through a large community effort Project Shelter Wakadogo was born &#8211; land was procured, roads leading to the school were levelled and vegetables were planted to be used for school meals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2009, the school opened. The name Wakadogo reflects the school\u2019s mission to extend a duty of care to those who walked through its doors, meaning \u2018for the little ones\u2019 in Swahili.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its commitment to provide free school meals, healthcare and a quality education for the surrounding community, has seen the school become a second home for many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Uganda imposed a long lockdown during the pandemic, Project Shelter Wakadogo quickly determined that online schooling wouldn\u2019t be possible for its students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Uganda, only 2% of the population has access to personal computers and less than 9% of the rural population has access to the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, Project Shelter Wakadogo pivoted to conducting 36,000 home-schooling lessons during the pandemic. This dedication to continue to provide education to its students was crucial as the school closures across Uganda saw children forced into the labour market, a rise in teenage pregnancy and gender-based violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project Shelter Wakadogo will use the prize funds to offer more scholarships for marginalised and underprivileged children in the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will also use the funds to set up an online learning platform to facilitate hybrid and catch-up learning, in case schools should ever close again, and share its approach and technology where possible with schools in the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will also use the funds to continue to provide mid-morning porridge and midday meals to its students as most in the wider community live on one meal a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>The five Prizes<\/u><\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The winners of the five World\u2019s Best School Prizes were chosen by a&nbsp;<a>Judging Academy<\/a>, comprising distinguished leaders all across the globe including academics, educators, NGOs, social entrepreneurs, government, civil society, and the private sector, based on a set of rigorous&nbsp;<a>criteria<\/a>. Judges were informed by a public advisory vote in which nearly 50,000 people from around the world voted for their favourite schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, Dunoon Grammar School in the UK won the World\u2019s Best School Prize for Community Collaboration. Escuela Emilia Lascar in Chile won the World\u2019s Best School Prize for Innovation. Bonuan Buquig National High School in the Philippines won the World\u2019s Best School Prize for Environmental Action. And&nbsp;<a>Curie Metropolitan High School<\/a>&nbsp;in the US won the World\u2019s Best School Prize for Supporting Healthy Lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A prize of US$250,000 will be shared equally among the winners of the five Prizes, with each receiving an award of US$50,000.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All shortlisted schools across the five Prizes will share their best practices through School Transformation Toolkits that showcase their \u201csecret sauce\u201d to innovative approaches and step-by-step instructions on how others can replicate their methods to help improve education everywhere. These will be available on the new&nbsp;<a>T4 Communities app<\/a>&nbsp;launched at World Education Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ABOUT T4 EDUCATION:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe every child everywhere deserves a good education.
