The Correct Option is D

Approach Solution - 1

Peter Tabichi, a science teacher from a poorly resourced school in rural Kenya, won the Global Teacher Prize 2019 for donating most of his income to students and mentoring them into award winning science projects.

  1. Kenya: The country where the 2019 winning teacher worked.
  2. South Korea: Not connected to the 2019 award.
  3. Japan: Also not linked to the 2019 winner.
  4. Canada: Not the country in question either.

Kenya is therefore the right answer.

Approach Solution -2

The Varkey Foundation, which runs this prize, judges nominees on the real-world impact of their teaching, and applying that impact criterion to each option points to the winner.

  1. South Korea: Strong education outcomes exist there, but no teacher from this country was recognised for the specific impact criteria used in 2019.
  2. Japan: Similarly well regarded for schooling, but not the source of the 2019 winning entry.
  3. Canada: Also not linked to the impact story that won the award that year.
  4. Kenya: The winning entry came from a teacher there whose personal sacrifice, mentorship of underprivileged students, and measurable outcomes such as competition wins fit exactly the kind of real-world impact the Varkey Foundation looks to reward.

Matching the award's impact-based judging criteria to the actual winning story confirms Kenya as the country.

So the correct answer is Kenya.
