'An amazing book . . . Read it gang, honestly' Zoe Ball 'I haven't
read a book for a long time that so often had me close to tears'
Observer 'Inspirational . . . You can call this good teaching; what
it looks like is love' Evening Standard The powerful, inspiring
story of Andria Zafirakou, 'the best teacher in the world', and
what it takes to work on the frontlines of education today Arts
teacher Andria Zafirakou was always a rule-breaker. At her
inner-city London school where more than eighty languages are
spoken, she would sense urgent needs; mending uniforms, calling
social services, shielding vulnerable teens from gangs. And she
would tailor each class to its pupils, fiercely believing in the
power of art to unlock trauma, or give a mute child the confidence
to speak. Time and again, she would be proved right. So in 2018,
when Andria won the million-dollar Global Teacher Prize, she knew
exactly where the money would go: back into arts education for all.
Because today, the UK government's cuts and curriculum changes are
destroying the arts, while their refusal to tackle the most
dangerous threats faced by children - cyber-bullying, gang
violence, hunger and deprivation - puts teachers on the
safeguarding frontline. Andria's story is a rallying wake-up call
that shows what life is really like for schoolchildren today, and a
moving insight into the extraordinary people shaping the next
generation. Praise for Andria Zafirakou: 'A magic combination of
belief and compassion' Financial Times 'Andria Zafirakou should be
an inspiration to all' i 'Zafirakou's generosity offers a gleam of
hope in a world that can seem unremittingly dark' Guardian 'An
amazing person . . . What struck me was just her sheer joy' Jeremy
Vine, BBC Radio 2 'Where others might have given up, Andria has
made it her mission to ensure [her students] get the best possible
start in life' Daily Mail
