India teacher named regional winner of the 2025 Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards
23 April 2025 – The International Education group at Cambridge University Press & Assessment (Cambridge) today announced Global Perspectives teacher, Sakina Bharmal, as the regional winner of the 2025 Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards in South Asia. Sakina was selected by the judges for inspiring her students to take real action on global issues.
Sakina 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 and receive publicity for herself and her school during the coming year. She will also appear on a ‘Thank you’ page at the front of a range of new Cambridge textbooks, available to the public from November 2025.
Sakina has been teaching for 25 years and currently teaches Cambridge IGCSE and AS Level Global Perspectives, fostering research, analysis and reflective thinking in students. Sakina was nominated for encouraging her students to engage with global issues in meaningful ways. One notable example was a project where students researched HIV and AIDS, connecting with individuals affected by the condition. They compiled their findings into a book, and the proceeds were used to support students living with HIV or with HIV-affected parents.
Sakina said, ‘This recognition is not mine alone, it belongs to every student who chose to question, care deeply, and act purposefully. Global Perspectives is more than a subject; it is a journey that helps young minds realize that global issues are not just distant headlines. They are right here, calling us to respond with empathy and courage. I am deeply proud of my students, whose compassion and creativity have transformed learning into meaningful change. When education ignites purpose, we do not just hope for a better world, we start building it, one thoughtful action at a time.’
Global winner voting
The Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards highlights the important role that teachers play in shaping the lives of their learners and preparing them for the world beyond school. It gives students, parents and peers the chance to nominate a current primary or secondary teacher for outstanding commitment to their students’ education. By going to dedicatedteacher.cambridge.
The 2025 competition received over 5000 nominations for teachers in 101 different countries around the world. Nominations not only thanked teachers for the hard work they put into teaching, but also for all the extra things they do to ensure their students are happy and healthy.
Rod Smith, Managing Director of International Education said, ‘At Cambridge, we are constantly inspired by the stories of teachers who go above and beyond, not for recognition but because they believe in the power of education to change lives. In an industry where AI is making all the headlines, it’s uplifting to see the warmth and humanity that this year’s winners have brought to their classrooms.
‘These awards are a yearly reminder that teachers remain the most vital part of delivering a rounded education. Technology, no matter how sophisticated, cannot replicate the empathy, creativity, social guidance and the sheer inspiration that a great teacher like Sakina can provide. I congratulate Sakina on her immense accomplishments, which I’m sure will inspire teachers and learners across India.’

The Fall the third book in the Tales of Tolari Space science fiction series. After watching her husband die on the bridge of the CCS Alexander and being used as bait by Earth’s government, Laura Howard has found a second chance at love on a planet light-year from Earth—until she falls, and a head injury erases her time on Tolar. Angry, frightened, and impulsive, she rejects the Tolari ruler who loves the woman she was before the fall, vowing to live free on Tolar and master the empathic gifts that came with Jorann’s blessings.
The Paran gained Laura’s love once. But the woman before him now is vastly different and determined to have nothing to do with him, even though they are both in grave danger. To save their lives, he may have to choose the one path he never wanted: to fight for the leadership of Tolar’s ruling caste. Farryn’s War the fourth book in the Tales of Tolari Space science fiction series. Farryn had failed. Failed, and lost his honor. His planet had shunned space travel for thousands of years, and he had sworn to shake his people loose from their isolation.
Sharana dares to follow her estranged lover into human space, desperate to find out what had become of him, determined to convince him that she had never betrayed his trust. Unfortunately, Earth’s security teams are watching. When she falls into their hands, Farryn decides to break her out of prison so he can kill her himself. But a brief encounter in her cell restores the empathic bond they had once shared, and Farryn realizes he must either rescue her for real or lose his sanity.

Stationmaster and exiled aristocrat Albert St. John Rembrandt—Bertie to his friends—is in love with a provincial ruler he’s always believed he can’t have. Finding out the hard way that some Tolari are as poisonous as their planet is only the beginning of his troubles.
A ship has gone missing. His station is in crisis. Bertie must manage the disaster while still desperately ill, but the only way to recover his health and be with the man he loves is to accept the genetic modification they call the Jorann’s blessing.
