About
In this heartfelt and inspiring book, Professor Dick Ng'ambi brings together the voices of over 500 Generation Z pre-service teachers from South Africa, each sharing their personal "why" for stepping into the classroom. Their stories are raw, honest, and deeply moving-woven together through a digital sandpit of shared reflection, connection, and hope.
