Oxford, in partnership with YOU, DRUM, HUISGENOOT and iSchool Africa, last year changed the future of 12 schools forever by rewarding the heroes among our educators with an iPad lab, Oxford textbooks and resources, and training that has profoundly enhanced the quality of education at their schools. Now we’re gearing up to do the same for more schools in 2014. If you know of someone making a difference in the lives of learners every day, we want to know about it.
