Top Teacher Awards

Throughout the year, you can nominate teachers who have been particularly helpful or inspiring to you. You can also nominate any administrators who you have found particularly helpful and supportive.

At the end of the academic year, the QAEU counts the number of nominations for each teacher/administrator and the ones with the most nominations receive a certificate and a letter of recognition.

We are delighted to announce the winners of Top Teacher and Top Admin Awards for 2023-24.
