Why the Uprising Awards resonate with Skolon

The Edufuturists Uprising Awards aren’t your typical black-tie gala. They’re about recognising the “unreasonable” – those educators, organisations, and projects that are challenging the status quo and genuinely pushing things forward. This ethos aligns perfectly with Skolon’s mission: to simplify the digital learning environment, empowering schools to focus on what matters most – teaching and learning, free from digital barriers.

We’re particularly proud to be sponsoring the Educational Leader of the Year award this year. This is an award that truly embodies our commitment to fostering creativity and progress in the classroom, especially as we understand the critical role it professionals play in enabling seamless digital access.”

An evening of inspiration

The Uprising Awards are more than just an awards ceremony; they’re a gathering for a community passionate about making education better. It’s an opportunity to connect with likeminded pioneers, share ideas, and draw inspiration from those who are truly “making it happen.” The past six years have seen incredible individuals and organisations celebrated, from international trailblazers to dedicated IT professionals and innovative schools across the spectrum.

Last year alone, the awards saw over 1000 nominations and more than 11000 votes, a testament to the vibrant and active community Edufuturists has fostered. 

From the inspiring legacy of David Price OBE, whose honour is now bestowed upon the outstanding achievement award, to champions of diversity and inclusion, the awards showcase the breadth of positive change happening in education.
