The NT Educator Award 2024 celebrates the dedication, excellence, and hard work of school teachers in Qatar. This award honours educators who go above and beyond in shaping young minds, thus contributing immensely to the academic standards of the schools and fostering a positive environment of learning and growth.
What makes the awards unique and significant is the selection process and its transparency, ensuring that only the most deserving educators are recognized. All the winners were selected by their peers through an online voting process. Each teacher was asked to nominate another teacher who he or she thinks deserves the award and teachers who got the maximum numbers of votes were declared the winners.
In the event of a tie, senior officials from the school cast the decisive vote. News Trail had no involvement in the selection process, ensuring complete impartiality and integrity.
The awards to winners were presented by Chief Guest Fouzia Taranum, IAS, Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate, Karnataka, India; Hameeda Kadar, Principal of MES Indian School, and Rafeeq Rahim, Principal of Shantiniketan Indian School.
