Education - John Kavishe

After attending a three-year teacher college, John Kavishe taught for more than ten years with no encouragement or direction from the school administration or any form of professional development. He went straight from being behind the desk to standing in front of it with no resources to turn to for support. He felt lost because his students were not succeeding as he had always hoped they would. “Most of my colleagues were encouraging me to quit,” he remembered.
