The Yidan Prize is the world’s highest education accolade. Each year, we award the Yidan Prize to individuals, or teams of up to three members, in two areas:
- Yidan Prize for Education Research
—The theory of learning—science, psychology, statistics—that can help educators understand different approaches with a methodical lens.
- Yidan Prize for Education Development
—Policy and practice in learning: new methods and ways to make education more widespread—so we can champion techniques that work.
They’re designed for impact: laureates receive a project fund of HK$15 million over three years, helping them scale up their work, as well as a gold medal and a cash prize of HK$15 million (shared equally for teams).
