Medal N. K. Krupskaja.

This is one of the few cultural awards recognized under the UNESCO Prize regulations. The Prize medal is seldom seen. The NADEZHDA K. KRUPSKAYA (Lenin's wife) PRIZE was awarded anually since 1970 by the USSR Government for contributions to intensify the fight for literacy in the context of lifelong education; to reward the services of institutions, organizations or individuals displaying outstanding merit and achieving effective results in the fight for literacy; associated with 5000 ruble award money. The Prize was cancelled in 1992. Material: silver. Diameter: 27 mm.

Interesting link... only 22 ever awarded from 1970-1991? :confused:

And here some more interesting info:

"The International Literacy Prizes 1966-2000

Each year from 1966 UNESCO has celebrated INTERNATIONAL LITERACY DAY with the aim to sensitize and mobilize international public opinion and to elicit their interest and active support for literacy activities – one of UNESCO’s major preoccupations since its first General Conference in 1946. On this day, the Director-General of UNESCO addresses a message to the world, appealing to individuals, organizations and states to demonstrate their support and solidarity for literacy and to promote non-formal education for all, particularly for those who have been excluded from the school system.
This annual celebration started following a recommendation of the World Conference of Ministers of Education on the Eradication of Illiteracy which met in Tehran in September 1965. The Conference recommended that 8 September, the date of the inauguration of the Conference, be proclaimed International Literacy Day and be observed world-wide. The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran proposed that UNESCO award an international literacy prize for meritorious work in the struggle against illiteracy, and created the Mohammed Reza Pahlavi Prize (1967-1978) which was, from 1967 to 1969, the only literacy award presented.

Two other prizes, the Nadezhda K. Krupskaya Prize (1970-1991) and the Iraq Literacy Prize (1989-1991) were awarded for 19 years and 11 years respectively.

At present five international literacy prizes are awarded each year:

The International Reading Association Literacy Award, created in 1979 by the International Reading Association, a non-governmental organization
The Noma Literacy Prize created in 1980 by the late Shoichi Noma, President of Kodansha Ltd., Publishers
The two King Sejong Literacy Prizes created in 1989 by the Government of the Republic of Korea to commemorate a king who invented, more than 500 years ago, an alphabet consisting of 22 easy to learn letters
The Malcolm Adiseshiah International Literacy Prize created in 1998 by the Government of India to commemorate the late Malcolm Adiseshiah, former Deputy Director-General of UNESCO and Chairman of the International Literacy Prize Jury.
The three categories of recognition awarded are:
The five Prizes consisting of a cheque for US $15,000, a silver medal and a diploma
Honourable Mentions consisting of a diploma and a bronze medal
Recognitions by the Jury in the International Literacy Prize award list " - source: History of the International Literacy Day

Now, to hunt down the others...

Outstanding Awards

and would that be the iranian one?

by the way, some EXTREMELY nice things on this site... Lenin Peace Prize, for example, awarded to Denis Nowell PRITT, K.C . (King's Counselor), chairman of the international Commission of Enquiry into the Reichstag Fire of 1933 (yes, the fire where a Dutchman shafted!:thumbsdown)

Here's the list... googling to figure out if these are really the only recipients or whether the prize was also given (in large(r)) numbers to individuals (e.g. in USSR)

1970 Mongolia Language and Literature Institute of the Academy of Sciences
1971 Zambia Zambia Adult Literacy Programme
1972 Iran Education Corps
1973 Tanzania West Lake Region Literacy Project
1974 Rwanda Shyorongi Community Development Circle (CEDECOS)
1975 Somalia Abidirizak Mohamoud Abukar
1976 Syria Literacy Department of the Ministry of Education and Culture
1977 - none?
1978 Vietnam Commune of Cambinh, Pilot Literacy and Complementary Education Unit
1979-1 Iraq Supreme Council of the National Campaign for Compulsory Literacy of Iraq
1979-2 Peru People’s Union of Peruvian Women
1980 Nicaragua Nicaraguan National Literacy Campaign
1981 Cuba Federation of Cuban Women
1982 India Directorate of Non-formal and Adult Education of Tamil Nadu
1983 Lesotho Lesotho Distance Learning Centre
1984 Cuba Cuban National Association of the Blind
1985 Laos Xiengkho District
1986 China Wu Lien Country in Shandong Province
1987 Indonesia Mrs Eriyah
1988 Angola National Literacy Centre
1989 Jamaica Jamaican Movement for Advancement of Literacy (JAMAL)
1990 China People’s Government of Xiping County, Henan Province
1991 Pakistan Adult Basic Education Society (ABES), Gujranwala

http://www.unesco.org/education/priz..._1967_2001.pdf

even better, more complete list including "honorable mention" (ie almost prize winners)

quite a select list!

Re: Medal N. K. Krupskaja.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to burst everyone's bubble.
This is NOT the UNESCO Prize.

This is the Ministry Of Education Of The U.S.S.R. Medal N. K. Krupskaja (Медаль Н. К. Крупской) which was founded 21st July 1967 and "awarded to teachers, educators, employees of public education and the leaders of pedagogical sciences, particularly distinguished themselves in the training and education of the younger generation".

A Soviet Ministerial Medal.

Could you please clarify the link, then, if any, between this Krupskaya medal and UNESCO's Krupskaya prize?

Re: Medal N. K. Krupskaja.

There is none.
This Medal has been misidentified as the UNESCO Prize for a considerable period (and some folks may have thought they had something exceptionally rare) and now hopefully no-one will mistake this ministerial Medal for the UNESCO Prize again.

I know we don't like links here and we try to do things in English, but here are the links to the three completely different unrelated (except for name) prizes being discussed here:

2. RSFSR Krupskaja award: Государственная премия РСФСР имени Н. К. Крупской — Википедия

3. UNESCO Krupskaya award: UNESCO Nadezhda K. Krupskaya literacy prize - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: Medal N. K. Krupskaja.

And a later ministry document ( I think) for the award. This is for the USSR award, not the RSFSR award.
