me back. First in family and the transformative potential of education is very powerful to me. I’m passionate about education.
- I have not taught for over 20 years
- I’m a trained primary teacher – but at least I have a wife who is an experience second level teacher.
- I’m a failed secondary level student. I didn’t do very well at school – but that hasn’t held me back. First in family and the transformative potential of education is very powerful to me. I’m passionate about education.
