The best teacher in the world teaches about nonviolence to children of West Bank. Hanan Al Hroub, 43-year-old Palestinian woman, was awarded the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize 2016, the equivalent of Nobel Prize for teaching, during the Educations and Skills Forum in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Hanan al Hroub: her story
Al Hroub didn’t study to become a teacher, but her life didn’t go as planned. After witnessing a shooting at a checkpoint close to home, in Deisha refugee camp, Bethlehem, her kids could no longer concentrate and study. She thus decided to become their teacher. She conceived a learning method based on play, mutual trust and nonviolence. Her system turned out to be so effective to be adopted in different schools in West Bank to help children overcome traumatic situations, by educating them to peace.
The Global Teacher Prize
Through a video message, Pope Francis announced she had won the award. He congratulated her hoping that “governments realise the greatness” of teachers’ work.
“We want our children to live in freedom and peace, as their peers all over the world,” Al Hroub – who now teaches at the Samiha Khaleel girl’s school of Ramallah – said during the award ceremony. She also suggested that 2016 “be dedicated to achieving hope for Palestinian teachers who plant hope in the minds of our children”.
