“Children are a product of the environment that they spend most of their time in. A lot of the chaos that happens in a classroom is not as a result of bad behaviour but a mirroring of what they have seen in their communities. What helps me is kind of being empathetic and understanding their behaviour and the way they communicate.”

Gqeba understands that dealing with a child’s emotional state is what works for her in order to achieve a safe learning space.
