Moktan Productions was deeply honoured when UNESCO's Global Teacher Awards asked me to create a film about inspirational South Korean teacher Yun Jeong-hyun who was named as a top ten finalist for the Global Teacher Prize 2020.

Now in its sixth year, the US$1 million award is the largest prize of its kind. Jeong-hyun, was shortlisted after being selected from over 12,000 nominations and applications from over 140 countries around the world.

Yun Jeong-hyun teaches at the Suncheon Technical High School, Jeollanam-do, South Korea. As director of the automobile department at his high school, he has vastly expanded the range of vocational qualifications that students can take, with various courses on welding, automobile maintenance, construction, Computer Aided Design and 3D scanning within the regular school curriculum. Since many students struggle with time-consuming side jobs to pay for their living expenses and certification fees, Yun Jeong-hyun lends them money that is paid back from wages they receive in future work placements. He has created job clubs focusing on gaining licenses for agricultural machine maintenance, forklift and excavator use, and bulldozer and crane operation – as well as courses for PowerPoint, Excel and Photoshop.

A truly outstanding teacher, Yun Jeonng-Hyun has received the Korean Education Minister’s Award and the Health and Welfare Minister’s Award for his incredible work.
