It is with great pleasure and profound gratitude that I share the news of having been conferred the International Lifetime Achievement Award in Education, as shown in the attachments. This prestigious recognition was awarded during the global ceremony hosted on Thursday 25th September 2025 by the London School of Digital Business (United Kingdom), which convened virtually with the participation of over 450 delegates from 107 countries.

The award process was highly competitive, involving 240 nominees across 24 categories and academic levels, each subjected to rigorous interviews, verification, and validation of scholarly contributions. The evaluative criteria focused on research of international significance, demonstrable academic leadership, and sustained global impact. It is particularly humbling to note that the Life Achievement Award represents the apex of the Leadership in Education Awards Programme (LEAP), acknowledging enduring legacy, transformative leadership, and scholarly excellence across disciplines.
