The PIEoneer Awards, since their inception in 2017, have celebrated true innovation and achievement in the field of global education.

            For 62 years, Dr Gandhi has spearheaded the idea that education must broaden students' perspectives and develop a global vision in them.

            Expressing gratitude for the award, Dr Gandhi said, “In this increasingly interconnected world, the implementation of global citizenship education and global competency programmes in schools has become indispensable, if we are to find enduring solutions to problems such as climate change, armed conflicts and extreme inequality”.
