Award Details
The Yidan Prize is an inclusive education award that recognizes individuals, or up to three-member teams, who have contributed significantly to education research and development.
The prize aims to progress learning by building a global community committed to advancing ideas in education.
Awarded annually since 2017, each year the Yidan Prize is awarded in two categories to individuals, or teams of up to three members:
Education Research
The theory of learning—science, psychology, statistics—that can help educators gain a more methodical understanding of their approaches.
Education Development
The practice of learning—new methods, ways to make education more widespread—so we can champion techniques that work.
Each prize comprises a gold medal and a total sum of HK$30 million (around US$3.9 million). Half is a cash prize of HK$15 million. The other HK$15 million is a project fund to help them expand their initiatives.
