In the words of Malcolm X, education is the most powerful weapon that can be used to change the world. The world is celebrating the essence of education in its transformation towards, and in conformity with the changing trends.

Teachers have been lauded for their creativity in awakening of joy and knowledge in learners through teaching and learning. The resilience of teachers towards challenges and difficulties within the profession has seen them produce talent and competencies among our children. In the words of Henry Brooks Adams, Teachers affect eternity; they can never tell where their influence stops. To date, there are learners who still admire the way their teachers talked, dressed and behaved. These teachers modelled character and behaviour.
