Dower Training College News Today

At a time when career choices were limited for youth from the northern areas and Kariega, many enrolled at the former Dower Training College to qualify as teachers to foster a foundation for the next generation.

Only about 10% of being an educator has to do with teaching, and the rest is taken up by a range of many other roles.

For nearly four decades they shaped and inspired young minds, and recently Kroneberg Primary School in Bethelsdorp Extension 21 bid farewell to two stalwarts who started teaching back when the school was founded.

St Teresa’s RC Primary School principal Raymond Sauls was honoured at two special assemblies on Thursday and Friday as he gears up for retirement on November 30 after 14 years at the helm and 40 years as an educator.
