The names of the selected teachers are forwarded to the districts that select district winners, through a process of adjudication. She said teachers in SA are operating with radically different resources — some with less than the bare minimum — due to the history of the country.“It’s not easy sometimes to bring your own ideas cause people are power hungry and this can be so discouraging. Do not change your course. Be the leader. Continue leading everyone and maintain your morals,” she said.
