‘Teachers do more than teach … they manage the lives of their learners … They prepare teenagers for the adult world [and] impart essential life skills to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The teacher is, without a doubt, the most important link, anchor and cornerstone in the world of teaching.’
Dr Raymond van Diemel
