The Inspirational Teachers’ Award or Anugerah Guru Inspirasi (AGI), organised by McDonald’s Malaysia is back for its seventh year to recognise and appreciating teachers who go the extra mile in helping their students achieve academic excellence and shaping the future leaders of Malaysia.
For this year’s winners, the 25 selected inspirational teachers will each bring home cash vouchers worth RM5,000, a trophy and certificate.
On top of it, the respective school of the 25 selected inspirational teachers will also receive an allocation of RM5,000 to upgrade the teachers’ staff room.
To further encourage students to display their appreciation for their teacher, every qualified nominator will receive the National Level Participation Certificate. This certificate will contribute towards their Physical, Sports and Co-Curricular Assessment (PAJSK) marks at school.
“McDonald’s has always been appreciative of the countless contributions from our teachers, who have made selfless sacrifices for the development and nurturing, as well as the positive impact provided to children in the aspects of academic, co-curriculum and character building,” said McDonald’s Malaysia managing director and local operating partner Dato’ Azmir Jaafar.
He added, “AGI McDonald’s is a platform created and introduced by McDonald’s seven years ago, with the purpose of recognising and appreciating our teachers across the nation.”
This year’s collaboration between McDonald’s and the Ministry of Education Malaysia is an initiative by McDonald’s Malaysia in response to the ministry’s call for more corporate participation through various projects, such as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to realise People-Centred Education (PCE).
Other than the award ceremony, McDonald’s will also be inviting selected teachers across the nation to participate in Teachers’ Day celebrations at all McDonald’s outlets from May 1-31, 2023 to celebrate teachers for their contributions and roles as the community’s backbone in educating and making a significant impact on the students.
Award recipients are chosen through a meticulous process by a panel of judges consisting of representatives from McDonald’s Malaysia, the Ministry of Education Malaysia and members of the media industry.
Malaysians can now nominate their teachers of choice from March 20 until April 15, 2023, by sharing stories of how their teachers managed to positively impact them and changed their lives.
Nominations can be submitted through: https://www.mcdonalds.com.my/en/anugerahguruinspirasi
