Teaching & projects

My teaching philosophy is to facilitate learning, in order to empower the learner to acquire knowledge, and develop generic skills and moral competencies to become intellectually sound, spiritually developed, emotionally balanced and physically fit to contribute towards the socio-economic and political transformation of society. This philosophy will be achieved by engaging learners in the use of practical activities like games and simulations, demonstrations, role plays and recitals, use of videos, group work and study visit to important religious and historic sites.
