From creating engaging lesson plans to preparing creative teaching materials, teachers truly go above and beyond to educate and prepare young minds for the future
Though times were hard during the pandemic, their relentless efforts ensured that their students received education in a fun and engaging manner.
Now that everyone is back in school, teachers are going the extra mile to bring their students up to speed on all the topics they've missed out on, so that they can sit for their upcoming examinations.
Although it looks easy from the outside, the dedication and perseverance these teachers show in caring for each one of their students are truly remarkable.
Recognising the hard work and sacrifice of these superhumans, McDonald's Malaysia rewards 25 outstanding teachers as a token of gratitude, via their annual Anugerah Guru Inspirasi

Marking its sixth edition this year, the award received an increase of over 1,200 entries compared to last year :O
Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of McDonald's Malaysia, Puan Hajah Melati Abdul Hai said, "McDonald's had initiated the annual award ceremony to show its commitment in giving back to the communities that they operate in, by recognizing that teachers play an essential role in the sustainable future of the nation through education."
She added, "These past two years have not been easy, with pandemic restrictions impacting students' learning experience. But the stories that we read through the nomination submissions since the start of the pandemic, reflect the strength of the human spirit, with teachers at the forefront as the driving force of our nation's education system. As we enter the endemic phase, let us not forget the versatility, adaptability, and more importantly, the resilience of teachers who showed up and delivered during times of uncertainties."
Choosing from thousands of uplifting stories, a cash award of RM5,000 and a special trophy were given to only 25 exceptional teachers for Teacher's Day
