The former principal, Agnes Rasesemola who is now the Circuit Manager, will be representing the North West province in a panel of discussion composed of other international prize laureates in the UNESCO headquarters in Paris, France on 5-6 October 2023.
The North West MEC for Education, Viola Motsumi said this is in preparation to kick-start World Teachers’ Month. Motsumi said the panel will discuss how teacher prizes improve the attractiveness of the teaching profession.
“This is aimed at raising the teacher status and recognition as well as exploring how teacher prizes encourage the implementation of best practices at national, regional, and global levels. This milestone is a pride for the entire North West teaching fraternity.
“It is a pleasant honour to have our teachers and principals join the global stage to discuss such delicate matters relating to teachers. I take this invitation as a universal recognition of Rasesemola and the North West teaching profession as a whole,” she said.
Motsumi further said to be recognised in such a platform and sharing experiences in it, is a great milestone. She added that, as a department, they wish Rasesemola luck.
“I am grateful for her dedication both in leadership and in the classroom. Rasesemola is a former principal of Sunrise View Secondary School in Rustenburg, a three-time National Teaching Awards winner in 2013, 2017 and 2011, an African Union Continental Teachers awards winner in 2021 and two Batho Pele award winners amongst others,” said Motsumi.
