Here’s a good thing you need to know: The Malaysia Teacher Prize is a prestigious national award established to recognize and celebrate outstanding educators across Malaysia. It was launched in 2022 and apart from recognising teachers on a national level, the Malaysia Teacher Prize also provides a platform to scale up their best practices.

In light of teacher’s day happening on the 16th of May, we speak to Samuel Isaiah, Co-Founder, Malaysia Teacher Prize…. As well as, Cikgu Muhammad Nazmi bin Rosli, a teacher based in Sarawak and the winner of the 2023 Malaysia Teacher Prize.
