Teaching in South Africa is a rewarding career that allows educators to shape young minds and make a real difference. It takes passion, dedication, and commitment, with teachers able to specialize in different phases, from Foundation Phase (Grades R-3) to Further Education and Training (Grades 10-12).

This educator's approach highlights the importance of creating a positive classroom environment—one where students feel excited to learn and look forward to their lessons.

Expert, Penny Holburn spoke to Briefly News on the role of care and commitment in effective teaching, stating:

"At school, most teachers know they need to provide more care and instruction to pupils, so they do. Teaching works well when students know their teacher cares about them, is committed to their growth, and is dedicated to providing the best instruction. Most teachers strive to create this kind of supportive learning environment."
