Diploma in Education
My majors were in English Language and Physical Education. While studying. I was elected for a position in the 12 member student representative council. The council was a bridge between the student body and the College Administration, safeguarding the interests of both sides. This position was a sensitive one in a political climate where any student demonstration,( even against poor quality food that led to widespread diarrhoea among students), was deemed political and met with the heavy hand of the state. |
