“ Education is the most important aspect of people’s lives because all major professions need a schoolteacher. The award means a lot. It’s an honour yet a humbling experience. But at the end of the day, it’s cooperation, ” he said.
“ What’s important is to work as a platoon and to go beyond compliance. As an outstanding leader, you go beyond the policy document. It’s the pedagogical triangle of parent, learner, schoolteacher.
“ And if you can strengthen the pedagogical triangle, it does lead to effective tutoring and literacy, and within that space you want to produce good public education. ”
