MBABANE – Eswatini’s hardworking teachers will end the year on a high note.
Courtesy of Macmillan Education Eswatini, 24 teachers around the country will be awarded with laptops, books and other goodies for the hard work which their pupils have recognised them for.
Themed ‘Macmillan Best Teachers Award’, the campaign by Macmillan Education Eswatini gave the floor for pupils to post their favourite teachers and state five reasons.
The best teachers will be awarded in a series of awards that will start tomorrow and end on December, 2022, in the different regions of the country.
Each awarded teacher will receive a laptop, books and promotional material from Macmillan Education Eswatini.
Confirming this was Macmillan Education Eswatini Sales and Marketing Manager Manqoba Sihlongonyane, who said the initiative was a continuation of the ‘World Teacher’s Day’, where they made a commitment to continue honouring teachers in a campaign format.
“Pupils were given the opportunity to post their favourite teachers, listing five reasons why they were considered them their best teachers. When adjudicating, we looked into the quality of reasons and the frequency of the teacher being posted.
“From tomorrow, we will be awarding 24 teachers from the different regions. Six teachers will be awarded in each region. Out of the six, three will be teachers from high schools, two from primary schools and one from a pre-school,” explained Sihlongonyane.
He further said the winners will then be awarded with Macmillan promotional items and books at their offices in Matsapha in an award ceremony.
Sihlongonyane said this campaign proved that pupils also spotted hardworking teachers.
