While talking to indianexpress.com, Disale shared that the improvement of the education system in both rural and urban areas relies on the participation of teachers. (Graphics by Abhishek Mitra)Teachers’ Day 2022: Ranjitsinh Disale, a Zilla Parishad primary school teacher from Solapur’s Paritewadi village, won the Global Teacher Prize 2020 along with the prize money of $1 million. But what sets him apart from the other winners till date is the fact that he shared the prize money equally with each of the nine other teachers who made it to the top 10.
“One of my students in the Zilla Parishad primary school always said that ‘God gives us to share with others’, and this thought has stuck with me for years. So the idea of sharing the prize money was inspired by my student. And today, I feel content as the decision resulted in tremendous outcomes,” Disale shared with the indianexpress.com.
“I believe teachers can bring real change and I want each one of us to get an equal chance to do so. Today, the prize money is being used to create digital classrooms in Nigeria, libraries in Vietnam, two scholarship schemes for 20 eligible students in USA and Italy and a project to promote education for specially-abled students in Brazil,” he shared.
‘Peace and education – two pillars of development’
Disale’s objective with the remaining prize money was to launch an initiative to ensure that each year at least 5,000 students from the war-afflicted countries of the world are recruited into a ‘Peace Army’. The prize money will help in reaching out to the maximum number of schools and students.
