Mpho Digashu’s passion for education is inspired by his mother, who is a teacher. His mother tirelessly worked to ensure that all her learners were not left out of accessing their basic needs, including their right to access education. It follows that the senior education specialist for e-learning would apply the same principles and continue to carry that out in his new role. Even though he always strives to ensure that the voices of the learners are amplified, he feels he is not immune to being held accountable  for diligence in performing his duties for the benefit of the South African learner. As such, Digashu calls on all stakeholders to ensure that every learner can access quality basic education without any challenges. The 27-year-old is not blind to the fact that key stakeholders should be consulted to tackle the challenges plaguing the public education system.  At the top of the list is how the curriculum can be applied to different contexts that students can relate to maximise learner performance and output.  “South Africa needs a curriculum that is tailor-made for all learners through consultative efforts and the will of different stakeholders, including the government and curriculum developers.”
