Excellent Teacher of the Year

Dr Ismail Badroen
Dr Badroen is inspired by the Faculty of Education’s “Emancipation Model” of teaching where lecturers, as transformative intellectuals, constantly are in dialogue with students; critically engage with traditional versus indigenous knowledge and drawing on students’ lived experiences.  As a facilitator of learning he creates an opportunity for new understandings and ways of looking at the world, he develops his students’ higher-level reasoning skills by constantly engaging them in dialogue.

"Life-long learners, even with PhDs, cherish the prospect to be schooled with every lecture they present."
