Rambau is teacher excellence personified
Tshililo Rambau received the provincial excellence natural science and technology teaching award
LIMPOPO – The secret behind his success was hard work, teamwork, networking and proper time management, said Tshililo Rambau. Rambau is a teacher at Muungadi Primary School in Zamenkomste who received the provincial excellence natural science and technology teaching award at The Ranch Hotel near Polokwane last Friday.
He received a certificate, trophy, laptop, DVD and a data projector. Rambau started teaching in 2007 and he said the drive was a lot more than he expected. “I never procrastinate and make friends with people whom I know I will learn from. I attend other schools to learn how they work, so that I can also use the knowledge to benefit my learners.”
He added that he makes sure that he became accessible to his learners. He said he was not motivated by greed, as he did not get incentives for achieving outstanding results. “I do not get paid extra for my achievements, but I stay at school after the normal schooling hours for the sake of our learners,” he said. He shared that teaching was a calling to him and the love of his learners made him go the extra mile in assisting them to pass.
“I urge other teachers to work hard to ensure that our learners receive the education they deserve,” he said. Rambau thanked the department for initiating the competition and his principal, SGB and colleagues for their support. He said that he would not disappoint Limpopo when he goes to the national award ceremony later this month.
