Two schools from India, Katha Lab School in Delhi and Delhi Public School Bangalore North (DPSBN), have been shortlisted for the USD 1 million Global Schools Prize 2026. Katha Lab School, located in the Govindpuri slum cluster, is recognized for its unique StoryPedagogy approach, which integrates various subjects through storytelling, serving hundreds of children from low-income families. DPSBN, with over 7,000 students, focuses on inclusive education, demonstrating that excellence and inclusion can coexist. The Global Schools Prize, organized by the UK-based Varkey Foundation, aims to celebrate innovative educational practices across ten categories, including Arts, STEM, and Inclusive Education. The top 50 schools will be narrowed down to ten category winners, each receiving USD 50,000, with the overall winner awarded USD 500,000. The winners will be announced at the Education World Forum in London later this month, aiming to inspire a global movement in education.
