"The Greatest Teachers" book project is a national project launched by the University of the Free State to create an inspirational book recounting their memories of exceptional teachers who changed their lives. Seeking accounts of teachers who went beyond the call of duty, the Great Teachers Project was conceived by rector Professor Jonathan Jansen and is partnered by the Sunday Times and its publisher, Avusa.
500 essays from ordinary people would be selected by a panel in terms of their diversity, plausibility, clarity and impact, and published in a book whose proceeds would fund bursaries for student teachers. This is a great initiative which will celebrate our most important human resource - our teachers.
South Africans are invited to write a 500-750 word essay on the teacher who made the greatest impact on your life or has inspired you. Submit it as a possible entry into "The Greatest Teachers" book project to jdjansen@telkomsa.net before May 30 2011. All proceeds of the book will support student teachers in the form of bursaries.
