Professor Pedro Peinado, from IES 'Salvador Sandoval' in Las Torres de Cotillas, has been awarded the 'Francisco Giner de los Ríos' award for educational innovation, awarded by the Ministry of Education in collaboration with the BBVA Foundation.
His teaching orchard project - which he dubbed 'Planting Numbers' - has earned him this recognition in the scientific-technological modality of Secondary Education and Baccalaureate, and a cash prize of 15,000 euros.
