Raising the bar in education

THE 1BestariNet Teacher Awards (1BNTA) is an annual award organised by FrogAsia Sdn Bhd and supported by the Education Ministry.

It recognises educators with outstanding achievements in adopting technology for education and elevating education standards in Malaysia.

This year’s 1BNTA, themed “Celebrating Teachers Who Raise The Bar”, recognises teachers across the country who are stepping up to their roles as facilitators of learning and knowledge transfer by raising the bar in education.

The award also recognises teachers who are stepping up as leaders by supporting other teachers on their journey in 21st Century education.

“In this year’s awards, 15 outstanding teachers from across Malaysia have been nominated.

“This award means more than just recognising good methods of teaching, but also acknowledges the heart and effort that educators put in, to raise the bar of education for the future,” said Frog Asia Sdn Bhd executive director Lou Yeoh.

The second leg of the competition will see the shortlisted nominees presenting their best practices.

Yeoh added that the award showcases the power of the nationwide platform, Frog VLE, in enabling the sharing and duplication of innovative best practices presented by the nominees.

Prizes include Chromebooks, trophies, certificates, free tickets to next year’s Leaps of Knowledge Conference, Frog exclusive merchandise and IT gadgets.
