In a ceremony highlighting the vital role of teachers, the foundation commended the winners for their unwavering commitment that extends far beyond the classroom, actively shaping the future of The Gambia. Mr. Ndure, speaking during the announcement, emphasized the rigorous and thorough selection process, underscoring how these educators stand out for their innovative approaches and steadfast passion in challenging circumstances.
The regional victors, representing various parts of the country, will now compete at the national level. The overall Gambia Teacher Prize laureate will be revealed later this year on April 9 during a prestigious gala dinner at the Sir Dawda Kairaba
