Slumdog millionaire: Meet the Global Teacher Prize winner using slum walls to spread learning
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/slumdog-millionaire-meet-global-teacher-130302796.htmlMore than a million children who have never been schooled are estimated to have been reached by Rouble Nagi's educational initiative across India.
What began 24-years ago with 30 children in a small workshop has grown into 800 learning centres and murals used to teach literacy, mathematics and history among a wide range of subjects.
Now her work, and that of her Art Foundation, has been recognised by the World Governments Summit which earlier this month awarded her its $1 million Global Teacher Prize.
this is such a great story and idea.
