## Colombian Public School Reaches Top 10 in World’s Best School Prizes 2026

Authored by colombiaone.com

The recognition also places the school in the running for the global Community Choice Award, which is decided through a public vote.

The World’s Best School Prizes, organized annually by T4 Education, recognize schools whose initiatives address major educational challenges while advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Rather than relying primarily on disciplinary sanctions, the approach encourages dialogue, peer support, and emotional education as part of everyday school life.

Unlike rankings based primarily on test scores, the World’s Best School Prizes evaluate how schools respond to challenges affecting their communities.

For Colombia, Las Margaritas’ selection places a Bogotá public school alongside finalists from Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, and Oceania.

Public voting for the Community Choice Award remains open through the official World’s Best School Prizes website.

The winners of all five categories, along with the public-choice recipient, will be announced by T4 Education later this year. »
