Ghanaian teacher Portia Dzifa Dzilah from Pakro Anglican Basic School, has made history as the first-ever Ghanaian regional winner of the 2025 Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards organised by Cambridge University Press and Assessment in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Selected by the judges for her incredible dedication to the young people in her community, Portia is the first Ghanaian teacher to be recognised as a regional winner in the competition's seven-year history.
Portia is one of nine regional winners of the global Cambridge competition that celebrates the achievements of teachers around the world.
As a regional winner, she will win £500 worth of books for her class, a trophy, take part in a regional awards ceremony presented with our education partner NNF Esquire, and receive publicity for herself and her school during the coming year.
