The provincial awards ceremony, which preceded the National Teachers Awards, acknowledges the extraordinary work performed by teachers annually, and this year we are especially impressed with the achievements as the past academic year was extensively compromised by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The outstanding performance of our teachers demonstrates their resilience and dedication to overcome the challenges placed on the education sector by the pandemic.

Every participant that took part in this competition is worthy of the acknowledgement in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the sector.”
