Tshegofatso is a qualified educator who believes in the beauty of holistic child development. She started her teaching career in her twenties, teaching early childhood development without any formal qualification, except for outstanding matric results. Through the mentorship programme of her first and former employer, she then developed a passion and love for teaching. As they say, the rest is history. She says: “Through my journey of learning and teaching, I also discovered that today’s learners need to be prepared for future demands, with relevant skills. That’s when I started leveraging technology in my practices and introduced a coding and robotics programme to children in my community to ensure that they are equipped and developed with digital skills.” Tshegofatso was recently recognised with a National Teacher Award in Mahikeng LEO for Enhanced Teaching and Learning in ICT. This year, she is a proud member of the Teacher’s CAN Lead Multiplier. Her favourite quote is: “ You cannot go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
