BIC has long advocated for improving lives through education; it is part of BIC’s DNA as it works to improve the learning conditions of 250 million children worldwide by 2025.

This year, in celebration of BIC Global Education Week, BIC again launched the BIC Cristal Pen Awards. Selected from hundreds of nominations, 10 exceptional educators have been chosen as the winners. Each educator has shown tremendous dedication in preparing the next generation to thrive.  

There has never been a more important time to support education. The ongoing pandemic continues to challenge educators as they have had to adapt to new ways of teaching, connecting, and supporting their students.  

BIC congratulated Ramanan Ramachandran, who received the BIC Cristal Pen Award.

Ramanan has gone above and beyond expectations to ensure future generations thrive by using undeniable methods of innovative teaching, particularly his dedication to online teaching during the pandemic.
