The mission of the teacher award program is to help volunteering teachers and non-government-appointed teachers, (民办教师, 代课教师或志愿教师) who are working under the hardest circumstances and are still dedicated to education.
For 2022-2023 school year, we've received 12 applications from GuiZhou province and have completed the verification process for the final list of awardees.
The selection criteria are:
1. Those who are in extremely difficult economic circumstances, such as families receiving subsistence allowances, low-income families, or those who are unable to pay for their living expenses.
2. Teachers who have worked hard for many years and are honest and trustworthy.
3. Teachers who promise to report on their work regularly (annually).
4. Tomorrow China will decide each year whether to provide rewards or continue to provide rewards based on the teachers' situation. Tomorrow China is not obligated to provide or guarantee any teacher who has applied or received awards in the following year.
5. To seek funding, the application information shall be complete with all details as well as the school stamped recommendation letters.
6. If a teacher leaves their teaching position, the reward will be terminated.
According to the criteria mentioned above, CTEF has appointed three board members to verify and vote for each individual teacher based on their applications and provided materials. Teachers who received more than two-thirds of the "yes" votes will be granted the awards
All the sponsored teachers already received the funding this year. We hope our effort can show our appreciation and be of some encouragement for their dedication.
