Wemerson da Silva Nogueira – Brazil
Science teacher Wemerson began his career in a suburb with a very high crime rate. Many of his students were involved in crime and the school had a drop-out rate of 50%. Wemerson led a social project called “Young Scientists: Designing a New Future”. One of this project’s activities involved studying the periodic table by researching the polluted mud and waters of the nearby Rio Doce. The “Young Scientists” activities enabled the school to rescue 90% of students from the world of drugs and crime. Today Wemerson’s school is considered the best in the city. If he were to win the prize, Wemerson would use the money to create a foundation supporting the training of young teachers.
