  • Japan
  • Canada
  • Kenya
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Approach Solution - 1

The Global Teacher Prize is handed out yearly to recognise exceptional teaching, and the question is about where the 2019 winner taught.

  1. South Korea: Known for strong academic outcomes, but not the source of the 2019 winner.
  2. Japan: A respected education system, yet not connected to the 2019 award.
  3. Canada: Has produced shortlisted teachers in other years, but not the 2019 winner.
  4. Kenya: Peter Tabichi, teaching in a poorly resourced rural school in Kenya, was named the winner in 2019 for his impact on his students despite limited facilities.

Because the 2019 award went to a teacher working in rural Kenya, the correct answer is Kenya.

Approach Solution -2

A useful way to check this question is to compare the general state of school resources in each listed country against the specific circumstances the 2019 Global Teacher Prize winner was recognised for working in.

  1. South Korea: Ruled out, since its schools are typically well equipped with modern infrastructure, unlike the resource-scarce setting tied to the 2019 award.
  2. Japan: Ruled out for the same reason, as Japanese schools generally have strong funding and facilities that do not match the winning teacher's classroom conditions.
  3. Canada: Ruled out, since Canadian education is broadly well funded across provinces, again inconsistent with the described circumstances.
  4. Kenya: Matches, since the 2019 winner, Peter Tabichi, worked in a rural Kenyan school with minimal resources and a large class size, exactly the profile the prize highlighted that year.

Since the award specifically celebrated overcoming resource scarcity, and Kenya is the only option matching that profile, it is the correct country.

Therefore, the correct answer is Kenya.
