Mngomezulu joined Teach South Africa in 2017 as a teaching ambassador, part of the programme which recruits young graduates with no formal teaching qualifications to become teachers in underprivileged communities across the country.
Sometimes you find that these kids will write in their essays about what’s going on at home, like being assaulted or going to bed hungry, and you realise that this is the real world “I always say to my kids I feel like I was forced to go to a model-C school. I would want to change my experience and go to a public school because the strength that these kids have and the experiences that they have is amazing.”
Despite an increase in violent incidents from learners in schools, Mngomezulu has urged people to be more understanding, because there is often more than one factor which has led to why a child is acting out.“I find that there’s no partnership between communities, parents and schools anymore. Sometimes parents are absent in these kids lives, and we have to be understanding about what they are going through.
The programme was first piloted in Ekurhuleni South, in areas such as Katlehong, Vosloorus and Thokoza.“Angie Motshekga was the MEC of education at the time and she demonstrated confidence in Teach SA to pilot graduates without teaching degrees. Ten years later we have had 566 graduates and have managed to retain 68% as permanent teachers,” he explained.
