Hlubi Mboya:

I believe in what EDUWEEK stands for. As a social justice activist, educator and scholar, my purpose is being an advocate that education is for empowerment, action and change.

Education for empowerment is a struggle against injustice, humiliation, degradation, exploitation and oppression. I want to promote the good of humanity. I am bound to realise this vision through hard work, honesty, commitment, seriousness, sincerity and determination. A liberated people and a liberated mind will always be the focus in the educational experience.

Education designed to empower people must be transformational in nature and help people develop the knowledge, skills, and values needed to become social advocates who can make reflective decisions and implement their decisions in effective personal, social, political and economic action.
