Teaching in high school, especially in Matric, is not child’s play. This grade is crucial in deciding a student’s future and career.

It takes a certain calibre of educators to get students ready not only for university but the rest of their adult lives.

Teachers in this grade understand the importance of preparing those who will be the future’s doctors, lawyers, journalists, politicians and so on.

Some teachers are extremely dedicated to this demanding career and even offer evening and weekend classes to ensure that pupils are ready for their exams.
