We want you to send in photographs of the world’s Other Hundred Educators – people with their own special ways of sharing knowledge who you have never heard of. We are looking for the unconventional educators who are out there in all walks of life.  Some work in classrooms, both regular and alternative.  Some have no formal qualifications but, use teaching to change lives. Some have passed on knowledge from generation to generation.  Some have taught through example not words.
