Just months after his historic win of the Yidan Prize, Mamadou Amadou Ly has reached a new level of international recognition. The executive director of the NGO ARED has officially been named to TIME magazine's 2026 list, joining the circle of the world's 100 most influential people.
The Senegalese expert is honored in the "Pioneers" category, a nomination that crowns an exceptional career dedicated to transforming education systems. This accolade is based primarily on the proven effectiveness of his bilingual model. Through his work with ARED, he has demonstrated that teaching in national languages, such as Wolof or Pulaar, drastically improves literacy rates and the mastery of fundamental concepts among young students.
The success of the "Ndaw Wune" program also carried significant weight. This accelerated learning remediation program, which has delivered spectacular results in Senegal, is now held up as a global model for reducing educational disparities in the Global South. Finally, the TIME selection committee praised the visionary leadership of a man who, already a 2025 Yidan Prize laureate, is establishing himself as the leading figure of a modern African pedagogy capable of influencing international standards.
