The Platinum Awards
Celebrating Global Excellence in Literacy, Learning, and Educational Leadership
The Platinum Awards is an international platform that recognises exceptional achievement in literacy, academic excellence, and educational leadership across Africa, Asia, and the world.
More than an annual ceremony, the Platinum Awards is a global movement to celebrate educators, learners, schools, and partners who are shaping the future of reading, learning, and human potential.
From classrooms in Africa to schools in Asia and beyond, the Platinum Awards honours those who prove that literacy is the foundation of global progress.
Why the Platinum Awards Matters Globally
Around the world, millions of learners struggle to read for meaning.
Educators work tirelessly to bridge learning gaps, often without recognition or global visibility.

Celebrate educators who transform learning environments
Honour learners who demonstrate exceptional reading and academic performance

Literacy is not a regional challenge. It is a global responsibility.
