Director and Principal, Ms Yandiswa Xhakaza, who experienced the consequences of an unequal education system so dire, that she dedicated her life to finding solutions to provide high-quality education at scale.
Xhakaza believes that UCT Online High School is exactly what this country needs. She explains that the digital divide and barriers we have as a developing country, like computer literacy and data costs, among others, pose an exciting challenge because “Yandiswa began her tenure last November and says she is “” and looks forward to charting a course she’s been preparing her whole life for.
Breath! Nothing is worth your peace of mind, you cannot be productive if you are stressed and anxious. Don’t overwhelm yourself with unnecessary clutter and commitments. Uphold your boundaries and don’t hang out with people who make you feel undervalued and disrespected. Take it easy, the world is not going to stop because you took a break to just breathe and recalibrate.
Yandiswa, who was told she could be anything she wanted and believed it, chose education because it’s fundamental in shaping society. If she didn’t hold her current position, she would still be involved with parents and their children, teens especially, who she feels are often misunderstood. She’s always pushed herself to try new things, even if she was terrible and enjoys a morning or afternoon jog.
