Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 24: The Global Teachers' Olympiad (GTO) 2025, a national-level assessment initiative for educators, has successfully concluded, identifying and recognising some of the top-performing teachers from across India and international locations. The Olympiad witnessed participation from over 8,000 educators representing more than 1,000 schools across 20+ states, highlighting its growing global footprint and relevance within the teaching community.
Conducted by the International Institute for Teacher Education & Development (II-TED), the Olympiad aimed to benchmark teaching competencies and highlight excellence within the teaching profession.
