Recently on Teacher, we shared the news of the inaugural winner of the Global Schools Prize. Lebanon’s The Alsama Project – an education organisation supporting displaced Syrian and Palestinian teenagers to remain engaged in education – has taken home the US $500,000 in prize money to scale its impact globally. The Global Schools Prize is an initiative of the Varkey Foundation that aims to recognise and celebrate the world’s most innovative and impactful schools that are reimagining education for the future. The prize is organised into 10 categories, and each category winner is awarded US $50,000.

Excitingly, Australia’s very own Larrakeyah Primary School in Darwin were recognised as a top 5 finalist in the AI transformation category for the Prize. They were recognised for transforming education through IntelliLearn – a custom-built AI writing platform that provides students with curriculum-aligned and scaffolded feedback. It’s an incredible achievement, particularly because the platform was designed by teachers at the school. In this episode, we're delighted to be joined by Larrakeyah Primary School principal Fathma Mauger to hear all about IntelliLearn.
