5 top reasons to consider a teaching career
The Department of Basic Education has urged pupils who have completed matric and are entering the job market to consider becoming teachers.
– Turn your love of learning into a love of teaching: “Teachers who love teaching, teach children to love learning.”
– Make the same difference to a child’s life as your favourite teacher made to yours: “Students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”
– Experience the joy of seeing children learn to read, write and count; and set them on a path to success: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” (Nelson Mandela)
– Mould and shape ordinary children into extraordinary citizens: “As a general rule, teachers teach more by what they are than by what they say.”
– Share your knowledge and make the world a better place: “Teachers affect eternity; no one can tell where their influence stops.” (Henry Brooks Adams)
