Samuel Isaiah.
THE Orang Asli community can look forward to an educational hub that also caters to their social welfare and well-being, if Samuel Isaiah has his way.
Although the English language teacher from SK Runchang, Pahang, did not win the recently concluded Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize 2020, he remains dedicated to turning the dream of building the educational hub, into reality.
And, thanks to India’s Ranjitsinh Disale, who won the US$1mil (RM4.3mil) prize, Samuel – who is only the second Malaysian to be in the Top 10 list for the Global Teacher Prize since its inception in 2014 – is a step closer to seeing his plan come into fruition.
