9. Personal teaching philosophy:

I am an educator [philosophy of education in particular] and a follower of Paulo Freire, John Dewey and Julius Kambarage Nyerere, to mention a few, whose philosophical thoughts have greatly influenced my orientation towards education. Inspired by outstanding philosophical thoughts of great scholars (Education for critical consciousness, education for self-reliance, education for liberation etc.), I am committed to creating a learning environment that fosters critical thinking and problem solving given the fact that higher education is about going beyond content mastery. In this vein, I am devoted to giving students the tools they need to realise their own value, analyse information and situations, and effectively solve problems for their wellbeing and the community.
