“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” - Nelson Mandela
My Philosophies
My background in Political Science has made me a firm believer that education is one of the most fundamental components of a liberal democratic society. It is essential that citizens be educated and informed in order to critically evaluate information and hold their governments to account for their policies and initiatives. Education is also a powerful tool that can help stimulate economic development, poverty reduction and crime prevention. For me education is about more than just teaching individuals - it's about shaping the society in which we live.
