With over 20 years of teaching experience, Femida Harripersadh from St Martin De Porres Comprehensive School in Port Shepstone, KwaZulu-Natal, is no stranger to the classroom. But this time, she’s the student. Embracing the journey of lifelong learning, she shares her inspiring story of returning to studies through North-West University’s (NWU) distance learning programme.

Taking the Leap Back into Studies

For Femida, the decision to return to studies was driven by a deep passion for self-improvement and education.

The job landscape is ever-evolving, and quality education is more important than ever, but the demands of modern life can make traditional on-campus learning a challenge for many students.

Meet Robin Nomens, an educator at Roodepan High School. She is a Departmental Head of Sciences and part of the school management team. This former student from NWU Potchefstroom Campus is currently pursuing a two-year Postgraduate Diploma in Management and Leadership through NWU Distance Learning.

Finding an education provider that’s experienced in the field of distance learning is crucial for success. NWU offers accredited courses with interactive e-learning offerings and tech to enhance the online learning experience.
