I’m Angela Nkonge, and I’m a qualified primary and early years’ teacher. I’ve been working at Mukwashi since 2009, and, in this time, have taught almost every primary grade.
Currently, I’m the Grade 1 class teacher, and I teach technology studies, science and the two Zambian ‘Special Papers’ to Grades 5, 6 and 7.
At Mukwashi, every teacher’s day starts at 6:30am, and we teach our Upper Primary classes from 7:00am until 12:10pm. Then, after a quick lunch, we teach our Lower Primary classes from 12:50pm until 16:10pm.
We have a great staff team, which is very focused and dedicated, and they all helped me a lot when I went through a painful divorce. I am the mother of two boys, aged 17 and 9, and we live in the teachers’ block in the school grounds with my sister and her daughter.
