    A science teacher from rural Kenya who gives away most of
his salary to help poorer students has been awarded the world's best teacher
and $ 1 million, beating 10,000 nominations from 179 countries. Peter Tabichi,
36, a maths and physics teacher at Keriko secondary school in Pwani Village,
has won the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize 2019.

    Tabichi gives away 80% of his income to help the poorest
students at the poorly-equipped and overcrowded school who could not otherwise
afford uniforms and books. More than 90% of his students are from poor families
and almost a third are orphans or have only one parent. Drug abuse, teenage
pregnancies, leaving off their studies, young marriages and suicide are common.
Students have to walk 7 km along roads that can become impassable in the rainy
season to reach the school and the area can be affected by drought and
starvation.

    Despite only having one computer, a poor Internet connection
and a student-teacher ratio of 58:1, Tabichi started a "talent nurturing
club" and expanded the school's science club, helping students design
research projects of such quality that many now qualify for national
competitions.

    His students have taken part in international science
competitions and won an award from the Royal Society of Chemistry after using
local plant life to generate electricity. Tabichi and four colleagues also give
struggling students one-to-one tuition in maths and science, visiting students'
homes and meeting their families to identify the challenges they face.

    Accepting the prize, Tabichi said Africa's young people
would no longer be held back by low expectations." Africa will produce
scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs whose names will be one day famous in
every corner of the world." he said.
