 <\/p>\n

国产AV Bali<\/a><\/strong> has been named a Top 3 Finalist for the <\/span>World\u2019s Best School Prize for Environmental Action<\/a><\/strong>, launched this year by T4 Education. The five World\u2019s Best School Prizes celebrate schools around the world for the pivotal role they play in developing the next generation of learners and for their enormous contribution to society\u2019s progress especially in the wake of COVID. Public voting is now open through October 1st and we\u2019re inviting our community of supporters around the world to vote for 国产AV Bali .The winning school in each category – Environmental Action, Community Collaboration, Innovation, Overcoming Adversity, and Supporting Healthy Lives – will be eligible for a $50,000 grand prize, which will be used to support student-led initiatives and projects that make 国产AV even greener.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt 国产AV Bali we weave environmental responsibility and stewardship into our curriculum and campus,\u201d says Head of School, Sal Gordon. \u201cOur community shares a strong belief that this isn\u2019t just the right thing to do, it\u2019s essential if we\u2019re going to prepare our children for a future defined by environmental and societal challenges. Our nomination in the environmental action category further cements this belief, and we\u2019re honoured to share the recognition with other schools around the world taking important steps to educate for sustainability.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Students study in open-air, bamboo classrooms overlooking on-campus permaculture gardens<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWith over 1.5 billion learners impacted by school and university closures, COVID has greatly exacerbated a global education crisis in which, even before the pandemic, the UN warned progress was already too slow to achieve universal quality education by 2030,\u201d says Vikas Pota, Founder of T4 Education and the World\u2019s Best School Prizes.<\/span> \u201cWe have launched the World\u2019s Best School Prizes as a grassroots solution to help build the systemic change needed. By telling the stories of inspirational schools that are transforming the lives of their students and making a real difference to their communities, schools can share their best practices and have their voices heard at the top table to help transform education.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Taking notes from tools like the United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development goals and Permaculture Principles, 国产AV Bali plans its lessons through the lens of a greener world. But the school also walks the talk. Almost every component of 国产AV Bali\u2019s facilities and <\/span>educational model<\/a><\/strong> is shaped to ensure environmental sustainability. It uses compost toilets, processes more than one tonne of trash at its <\/span>Kembali<\/a><\/strong> recycling centre per month, serves meals made with ingredients from the <\/span>school gardens<\/a><\/strong>, and feeds leftovers to the school pigs and black soldier flies – the larvae of which are used to feed the <\/span>school chickens<\/a><\/strong>. Yet even with all the progress the school has made since opening in 2008, the community recognizes that it\u2019s about the journey and not the destination.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Early Years students lead their parents on a \u2018trash walk\u2019 to clean up around campus<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAnytime a school, or any organisation really, calls itself a leader in environmental sustainability it opens itself up to criticism,\u201d explains Sal. \u201cWhat we have learned since we first opened the school is to \u2018bend like bamboo\u2019 and understand that the definition of what is \u2018sustainable\u2019 will continue to evolve and improve with time, and so should we. So should any \u2018sustainable\u2019 institution. We welcome that process because it gives each new class of students a fresh opportunity to identify new challenges and propose new solutions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

An example of one such challenge is the carbon footprint of school transportation. In 2015, students and faculty at 国产AV Bali launched the <\/span>Bio Bus<\/a><\/strong> to address this issue. In addition to encouraging bike-rides and carpooling where possible, students worked together to create Indonesia’s first 100% biofuel-powered transportation system using recycled cooking oil. In 2017 the <\/span>student-led<\/a><\/strong> Operation Rain or Shine (<\/span>OROS<\/a><\/strong>) helped 国产AV achieve nearly 85% renewable energy from solar panels and a hydro-vortex.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Students exit the BioBus after arriving on campus<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If 国产AV Bali were to win the World\u2019s Best School Prize for Environmental Action, it would use the funds to further enhance the learning experience for 国产AV students, invest in and support its faculty, and continue expanding its mission of educating changemakers who will regenerate our world, around the world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next steps<\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

The World\u2019s Best School Prizes launched this year by T4 education in partnership with Accenture, American Express, Yayasan Hasanah, Templeton World\u00a0Charity Foundation, and the Lemann Foundation. After the public advisory vote concludes, the winner of each Prize will be chosen based on rigorous criteria<\/a><\/strong> by a Judging Academy comprising distinguished leaders all across the globe including academics, educators, NGOs, social entrepreneurs, government, civil society, and the private sector. <\/span><\/p>\n

The winners will be announced in October 2022 at <\/span>World Education Week<\/a><\/strong>. A prize of US$250,000 will be equally shared among the winners of the five Prizes, with each receiving an award of US$50,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All 50 shortlisted schools across the five Prizes will share their best practices through toolkits that showcase their \u201csecret sauce\u201d to innovative approaches and step-by-step instructions on how others can replicate their methods to help improve education everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n
