NKANDLA can
really boast about
its standard of
education as Mr
Ngogi Mahaye of
Velangaye Secondary
was crowned as the
winner in the
category ‘Excellence
in Secondary School
Teaching’ at the
2006 National
Teachers Awards on
Thursday.
In fact, KZN
teachers ruled the
roost as they walked
away with two first
positions, one
second and two third
positions in five of
the eight
categories.
KwaZulu-Natal
Education MEC - Ina
Cronjé is extremely
proud to have
excelled at the
National Teachers
Awards ceremony once
again. ‘What was
exceptional about
KwaZulu-Natal, was
the number of
schools that entered
groups in the
different
categories. This is
indicative of the
team spirit at those
schools. It was most
encouraging to see
that the winning
teachers represented
the demographics of
KwaZulu-Natal. The
message is clear:
KwaZulu-Natal
teachers are ready
to excel!’
