What motivated you to be in the education sector?

The sense of commitment towards society to expand the horizon of literacy for youth can have a transformative effect on their lives, providing them with the tools and knowledge necessary to succeed in today’s rapidly changing world. By committing to this goal, you are making a positive contribution to society, and helping to create a more equitable society. One way is by volunteering your time and skills to mentor and tutor young people. You can also support local literacy programs and initiatives, such as after-school reading programs or community libraries. Additionally, you can advocate for policies and resources that promote literacy education and access for all young people.


What changes do you want to see in the education sector in future?

Education should be equilibrated to industrial exposure so that employment can be generated faster. Increased use of technology has already had a significant impact on education, and this trend is likely to continue. This could include the use of artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, and other emerging technologies to enhance the learning experience.
