New book for former school headmaster

A former school principal, Mr Maano Ramadwa, says that teaching is a profession which needs those involved in it to have a sense of inspiration. Teachers need to inspire learners to perform and produce better results.

This fine mentor and motivational speaker has recently published a book, titled Teach To Inspire. “The book, which comprises 12 chapters, deals with various methods teachers can use in order to bring inspiration to their classrooms,” he said.

Ramadwa appreciates the roles played by teachers who taught him at Sinthumule Secondary School, where he matriculated. “The influence these teachers had on me had inspired me to take up teaching as a profession,” he said.

His 17 years in the profession are chronologically detailed in the first chapter, as well as the lessons acquired throughout the journey. The subsequent chapters give advice on how the teachers can influence their learners.

Ramadwa’s professional journey has taken him to four high schools in the Johannesburg North district. He has worked in various capacities, as head of department, deputy principal and principal. He is a former Blue Eagle High School principal.

Ramadwa was born in Musina and raised at Muduluni village in the Kutama area. He qualified as teacher at the former Makhado College of Education after matriculating at the age of 23.
In 2014, he resigned from his post to be a motivational speaker. He is also an entrepreneur who established his own company, called Divhambele Training Solutions (Pty) Ltd. His company focuses on, among other things, teacher and learner motivation, mentoring and coaching of school management teams.
