At the same time, it strives to ensure that winning the award is not an end in itself, but a means of establishing mutual cooperation, harnessing the potential of the awarded teachers and expanding the impact of their teaching activities.
Semi-finalists are selected on the basis of their pedagogical approach, innovation in teaching and impact on students and the wider community.
