The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has decided to award the UNESCO King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa Prize for 2023–2024 to recognize projects and activities that improve learning, teaching, and overall educational performance for individuals and institutions.

This award is given to any two people, groups, or organizations that use ICT for educational purposes (whether formal or informal, governmental or non-governmental). The Executive Board established the award in 2005, and the Kingdom of Bahrain has been very generous in helping to fund it.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is a branch of the United Nations with the specific mission of fostering international collaboration in the fields of education, the arts, sciences, and culture in order to strengthen peace and security around the world.

To promote peace and harmony among people and understanding for the planet’s natural resources, UNESCO uses the tools of education, science, culture, communication, and information. The group is making a difference and bolstering resilience in local communities all across the world by working to foster intellectual and moral solidarity among humans.
