Peter Tabichi Goes Home With Only Sh10M Out Of Sh1OOM Grand Prize, This Is Why

Peter Tabichi, who has been in the news headlines since Sunday for shinning at the Varkey Foundation, will not be taking home the Sh100M any more.

Tabichi was given the award as the best teacher in the world: “He’s changed the lives of his students in many ways, including the introduction of science clubs and the promotion of peace between different ethnic groups and religions. He has also helped to address food insecurity among the wider community in the famine-prone Rift Valley,” the foundation wrote on its website.

Details emerging, however, indicate that the humble teacher will receive the grand price in installments of Sh10 million per year.

He was awarded by the Varkey Foundation which honours one teacher globally annually.

The news thrust Keriko secondary, where Tabichi is a Mathematics and Physics teacher, into celebration.
