He believes that teachers are the world’s “real changemakers” and therefore announced that he will be sharing 50 per cent of his prize money with his fellow finalists to support their incredible work.

“ I may have won the award but I can’t change the world alone, one Ranjitsinh Disale can’t do it on his own.  It would be unfair to take it all alone… look at their work, it’s exceptional. I believe teachers can bring real change and I want each one of us to get an equal chance to do so,” Disale said.
