Arts project from ‘world’s best teacher’ to launch nationwide

Londoner Andria Zafirakou, who won the $1 million Varkey Foundation global teacher prize in 2018, will roll out her artists in residence initiative to schools in Newcastle, Manchester, Dorset, Scotland and Wales next year. Under the scheme, artists visit schools for six weeks and help teachers deliver creative projects. The programme currently has a waiting list of more than 80 schools.
