We recognize the brightest minds in education and build a community around them. A community that promotes collaboration, shares what works, and is as strong in research and testing as it is in practical application. That's why our prizes span two areas:
Education Research
The theory of learning—science, psychology, statistics—that can help educators gain a more methodical understanding of their approaches.
Education Development
The practice of learning—new methods, ways to make education more widespread—so we can champion techniques that work.
Each year, we award our laureates a gold medal, a cash prize of HK$15 million (shared equally for teams), and a project fund of HK$15 million to help them scale up their work.
We welcome all nominations; our process is open to everyone. You don’t need to be invited to nominate a team or individual for either the Education Research or Education Development prize.
