A Lagos biology teacher just made the shortlist for a million-dollar global teaching prize. Adeola Olufunke Akinsulure from Omole Senior Grammar School in Ikeja is a finalist for the GEMS Education Global Teacher Prize, a Varkey Foundation and UNESCO project. She was selected from thousands of nominees across numerous countries worldwide.

Her wildly creative SOAR+T method uses music, games, and cheap tech to teach. This approach skyrocketed biology exam pass rates at her school, landing it among West Africa's best. Beyond class, she runs an environmental club and a hub for girls focusing on robotics, AI, and menstrual health initiatives, reaching hundreds of students.

The prize founder praised her deep community impact, noting her work shapes futures beyond textbook learning. A UNESCO official highlighted the need to support educators facing global challenges. Adeola will join other finalists from several nations at a future education conference in Dubai.
