Nominate an inspiring teacher for the 2025 Prizes
Nominations are open until 17 December 2024
The Prime Minister’s Prizes for Science celebrate demonstrated achievements in scientific research, research-based innovation and excellence in science teaching.
There are 2 science teaching prize categories for science, technology, engineering or mathematics teachers:
• Prime Minister’s Prize for Excellence in Science Teaching in Primary Schools
• Prime Minister’s Prize for Excellence in Science Teaching in Secondary Schools.
Nominating a science, technology, engineering or mathematics teacher is a meaningful way to show how much you value their efforts, achievements and impact.
Prize recipients receive national recognition for their work, as well as $250,000 prize money – an increase from the previous amount of $50,000. They become important role models inspiring students’ interest in STEM education and careers.
