“LEGACY OF KNOWLEDGE’
KWAZULU-NATAL teacher Mogambal Moonsamy has received international recognition for her unwavering commitment and contribution to fostering interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Moonsamy received the lifetime award at the 28th World School Summit in Thailand.
The award acknowledges her dedication and significant impact on STEM education throughout her career.
The World School Summit unites school leaders from around the globe to learn from international education experts and shape the future of learning.
Moonsamy is a mathematics specialist and the head of department at Iziphozethu Primary School in KwaDukuza.
“I enjoy being hands-on and understanding my learners’ home circumstances. My purpose is to assist the child, and now that I have grown so much, I enjoy sharing what I know with other teachers,” she said.
At the World School Summit, Moonsamy presented the challenges in South African schools with teacher and learner ratios and the backlog in access to technology.
