Kediletile Lettie Moswete, a mother of one and a passionate teacher, is celebrating her graduation with a Bachelor of Education (BEd) degree from the University of South Africa (Unisa) later this year, marking her as the first in her family to attain a degree.
“I chose to study Foundation Phase because I love working with young kids. It brings joy to my heart to make a difference in their lives at such a formative stage,” said Moswete, whose academic and professional journey has been intertwined with her service to the community.
Her journey in education began as a reading coach in Droogfontein Solar Power’s numeracy and literacy programme, where her passion for teaching was nurtured.
She received a full bursary from the Droogfontein Solar Power Bursary Programme, which has supported over 16 local students since 2014.
This enabled her to solidify her role within the Riverton educational community, allowing her to return during her final year at university.
Moswete secured a position at the Waterworks Primary School – the very school she attended as a child – initially as a Gr. 3 teacher, before transitioning to a Gr. 2 role this year.
“This bursary has brought dignity and respect to me, my family, and Riverton. It’s empowering to be the first degree holder in my family and a locally-based educator, which is a source of pride for our community.”
Moswete intends to further her education by pursuing an honours degree next year. Her daily interactions with colleagues and students inspire her to continue making a positive impact in her community.
Her graduation is not only a personal milestone, but also serves as a beacon of inspiration, highlighting the transformative power of education and support from the community.
