#WorldTeachersDay | It starts with a small hand reaching for a pencil.
A child learning to write, to read, to ask questions and to believe in what they can become. And beside them, every step of the way, is a teacher.
Teachers don’t just teach lessons. They guide, inspire and shape the futures of generations.
Today, we celebrate every teacher who continues to show up, believe in their learners and build strong foundations for strong futures.
Happy World Teacher’s Day! 🍎📚

What book sparked your love of reading?
Ahead of International Literacy Day tomorrow, our co-founder, Mme Xolisa Guzula, takes us back to the books that sparked her love of reading and helped shape her journey.
The stories we encounter as children can stay with us for life. They can shape how we see ourselves, introduce us to new worlds and inspire us to dream bigger.
So, we want to know: What was the book that made you fall in love with reading? 👇🏾

#WIL | Today marks the second day of engagements in Pretoria, Gauteng, where stakeholders continue discussions on the Policy for School-based Work Integrated Learning (WIL).
Ms Lala Maja, Director for Initial Teacher Education at the Department of Basic Education and programme lead for the Funza Lushaka Bursary Programme, outlines the purpose of the engagement. She explains that the process forms part of a collaborative initiative between the Department of Basic Education and the Department of Higher Education and Training to develop a dedicated policy that will guide how schools support student teachers during their teaching practice.
Technical expertise for the policy development is being provided by the Häme University of Applied Sciences (HAMK) in Finland through the Regional Teachers Initiative for Africa. The consultation process brings together universities, provincial education departments, teacher unions and civil society to share current practices and inform the design of research instruments that will guide the national survey and policy development process.
The initiative recognises Work Integrated Learning as a critical component of the Minimum Requirements for Teacher Education Qualifications (MRTEQ), helping student teachers bridge the gap between university learning and classroom practice through structured mentorship and support in schools. Findings from the consultation and research process will inform the draft policy, expected to be presented later this year.
