An Indian village schoolteacher was awarded $1 million for promoting girls’ education in tribal communities.  Ranjitsinh Disale learned their local language in order to translate textbooks, and he created a QR code for students at Zilla Parishad Primary School to access audio poems and video lectures.  And if that’s not enough, he’s giving away half of his Global Teacher Prize reward to the other nine finalists.  “They will get a chance to continue their work,” Disale said, “and we can reach out and lighten the lives of as many students as we can.”
