About project

 

                The Yidan Prize aims to create a better world through education and it consists of two awards:

  • Yidan Prize for Education Research and
  • Yidan Prize for Education Development.

Association Živojin Mišić became the national partner of the Yidan Prize in Serbia in late 2018. Thus, the Association became an organization that has the right to nominate the best teachers of our country for this competition, through the project "The Best Educators of Serbia". Today, "The Best Educators of Serbia" is a project that is pre-qualification both for the Yidan Prize and the Global Teacher Prize. Our goal is to enable the best teachers in Serbia to be heard on the world educational scene and to have the opportunity to exchange good teaching practice with the best teachers in the world. You can see the rules of the competition here.

Teachers from primary and secondary schools, and also professors who are winners of "The Best Educators of Serbia" Prize, who actively work in teaching, have the right to participate in the Yidan Prize Competition. They are teachers who have passed a serious selection at the national level, thus this is qualifying them for the application for the Yidan Prize.

The Yidan Prize recognizes and supports individuals around the world whose innovations have a sustainable impact on the educational system of today and the future.
