ATAUK promises to fill the void in the awards industry for the African teacher who has been overlooked but has effectively contributed to transforming the lives of young people in the UK. In the community spirit of the African proverb that it takes a village to raise a child, African professionals are encouraged to celebrate one another in all fields, especially in education because 'Teaching is the profession on which all other professions depend':(Darling-Hammond L (2018) Transforming education, Stanford.
