Once a year, the student Union gives out the reward “The Golden Apple”. That is the price that we give out to the most pedagogical, appreciated and new thinking teachers. There’s one teacher per institution that wins this award.

The way that we select these winners are through you. You who read this very sentence! We send out a form for anyone and everyone to nominate their favorite teachers, anyone they want, and how many that they want. And the more they motivate why just that teacher should win, the better. Because when all the nominations are sent in, the vice chairman of the student Union sits down and anonymises all the nominations. There’s no genders mentioned, no mentions if how many times a teacher has been nominated, or what they teach.

This is because we want the teacher to win by what is said in the nominations, not by any other aspect. When it is anonymised, the vice chairman sends each institutions nominated teachers to each corresponding section to select a top 3 teachers to present to the education forum, which will the select the winners of all the institutions.

The winners are presented to the public during the graduation ceremony each summer.
