 can grow and learn and become better. So, I like the role. They really go down to the level of that student. Wana runingi, chini, chini, kamani. There's a point in life that I saw a teacher. Kwanza wapipi wan, wana runingi wana kwa dogo kama wana wana fuzi wapipi wan. So, a high school wana kwa kama wana high school. Hey, the teachers we need for the education we want. Amazing thing for these years. Wild teachers, the E-2023. And in today's discussion, we're just encouraging you to celebrate teachers Pali on our socials and be part of the show. Speaking of teachers, teacher Mike has joined us today. Like he calls himself. I first met him. I first met teacher Mike. Nil kwa ni menda mishos. Me ni menda mishos Pali hapa. Here and there, mishona. No, I was milliona mishos at Meriliki and I met him, was running up and down. Ensuring that the students are comfortable. They are happy. They are well fed. They are hearing the word of God. Fed in all aspects. See food, see word, wamekula, wameshiba. So, I was really impressed. And today, like Nil, teacher Mike, he will come up to Bunga Historia teachers. And thank you so much for honoring them. They invite and joining us today. Nashukuro sana, sana. I'm so happy to be here. Thank you for hosting me. Me, Nil kwa ni menda mishos Pali hapa. Dijeni. Yes, president Kambisa. So, we met Wulukumekuja. Pali mishos. And I was Juchini Juchini. And basically, yeah, that's what a teacher does. Especially the 21st century teacher. We are now even more friendly to learners. Kitamu wulukod nga gupawali mumbahasa. So, you know, we've gone down to their level so that we understand each other, they understand us. So, Nashukuru, and I'm so happy to be here. Yes. Into this, you say, wimajotu mese matutulikutana, wimajotu mese matutulikutana, wimajotu mese matutulikutana, wimajotu mese matutulikutana. So, my name is Michael Mwangi. And Kwanzaa Kabisa, I'm saved. Christ is Lord over my life. Hallelujah. God saved me when I was in Form 3. So, it's been a journey. Number two, I am a learning facilitator. I teach at a school called Mary Leakey Girls High School. Mini mo lemua Geografia and Mathematik. Mami mo lemua... How about you? How about you? How about you? How about you? How about you? How about you? How about you? Kabisa, kabisa. So, how about you? And apart from that, I also run a company called Dynamics Safari, which is a tourist and travel agency. So, wakatisiko klas, we are traveling in Kenya. Then I also do creative writing, I do spoken word. So, when you get to profession, you don't go talent in Azama, but we thank God for all that. Yes, yes. I'm really interested in teacher Mami. I'm looking at you as a young teacher and I'm like, how did you decide to be a teacher? Was it just a planned me profession? Or it's something that you really wanted while you were growing up? For me, by the way, it's passion. And I know, kuna alimu ali jipata ni alimu. Pali wana select course kuna inivaziti, wajaribu engineering inakurushainje. You know, you go to architecture inakurushainje. Sidi yo. And I have friends come out. So, for me, since I was young, I really had passion to work with young people especially. So, you know, nikiwa shule, I would be subject trip for Kisohili, for Nini, coming to high school when teachers were not around, I was assisting in teaching. So, I wanted to become a teacher. I actually wanted to become a lecturer. Ya, so, badao kwa yo alai. Badao kwa alai. Ya, nita badao inanga. Ya, taiko. Iko, Iko. So, my passion was working with young people and that's how I chose to become a teacher. And of course, I loved mathematics and also I was doing well in geography. So, kwa mali mamat and geography. But basically, I love working with young people, just molding them and making them to become better people because really feel, in our time, we had disconnects na alimu sana. But I could be not one teacher who is close to these guys and they learn from na to make wahapo. So, ya, that's how I became a teacher. You mentioned something very interesting, teacher Maika, that growing up, back in our days, see kina Gen Z, see kina Millennium, apa niksakiyo mojawa tooki waha high school. How do you even approach a teacher? Skrivin and Agamishon none are two students one. They are approaching the teacher courageously. Actually, even to say hi to them, you know, you know, to say hi to them, what was your day? Eh, unaza jyoksela mi amalimu, ulkono na tumalimu ama spali, shuwa. Di umaya, tabisa. Teacher on duty, shuwa. Yen umekulakona, una manana kuzeivi unakulakona, like no, we can't meet. Ya, things have changed these days. Exactly. I think the dynamics have changed a lot. Me, I think back then, tooki o primary pali, you know, in the, but a privilege, meaning in the academy. Private school. Group of schools. Oni hindi o group of schools. Aha, tabisa. So, and tu lukatuna pigu a bitambaya sana. Allah. Actually, every teacher head a part of your body, nyanapiganga. Mo limo amatini mikono. Igrumba wa siyari, alekwani ukumbele. Kiswa hili migu. Kai. So, to start this, boys ukunyoma. Ya. And it was, it was, it was thorough. Ya. Nasu kulikwana fear yawalimu. To high school. Mo limu kifika sana tisa, you know, akonaduka kwa shopping center. Uo mo nishule. Ya. Asha ae enda shugulizaki. But you know, it's been a a transition by the actually, and I can attest, badewali musa hili, they are really close to students, you know, hili fiei mi ondoka. Maka deputy principles. Depe kwanza ali kwanasa maha, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay. Depe kwa kismama pa le DH. Kusimama tu. DH. Ah, wunata kambiyom baya. Ya. And I think, I think it's good, the fact that we are getting into a space where, you know, I don't have to be tuned to where they want it. You don't have to fear me to communicate. And actually bringing them closer helps us understand the challenges they are going through. Ya. Kus wanaza mwata utawangia. So, us being close to them is a plus for them and for us as well. So it's good, it may happen, it's changed and it's positive. Ya. Nenimitabu. And so, it's positive. Nipiya, kuna walaitu. Mjue iwa been to boys' schools. Ya. Kuna walaia waruwi. Kuna walaitu o nakujanga na rules zao shule. Mwanda ni, how do you enhance discipline to these students? You know, considering that kopro creamwie was removed by the government, yes, yes, yes. how do you enhance discipline in schools right now? So, it's true what you said actually in 2022 the Children Act was reviewed. Ya. And actually kopro punishment was... numiki-gopu na na kwa, slojumu kwadisu kwa hiyama, hwara lai hwara lakia hwara mula nigo kwa hwa utama siia siya hwara na naki hwara mafutaka hwara mula mula And you do other softer ways of punishing someone Like the way you say you softer? Exactly Bwali mamat, ifkanya assajne They'll give back to you But I give back to you In kwa ni boko In wa wudu Do you know what I would say In fact, before ni yengilekita b athlete I gave them things It was because I used to fear nash mama to be on you So You know you might do their assignment 3 more times That's a soft way of punishing someone I saw someone else I think I will find a wrong subject This is one of my friends from another school and you know the fact that we disrespect this subject You can say a biological and you can also say a theory A kablitcha gazetim zema You circle all the a's Ziki isha wuja wu niwone So we have so many other ways of punishing that wouldn't affect self-esteem ya And of course it is ED, the administration handles Na it is ED by ED, now the parent comes in Because we still have parents kiboku e jahisha Ukin pigia tumamanani wuja me tu sumbuwa wacha nekuwe Yes and if that's how the child best listens to the parent well and good But from the teaching side we've shifted you know to more better ways of punishing someone Without necessarily using the cane Kusakul all the a's Baka isha Baka isha ya whole newspaper I would have enjoyed school This is a good day Are you still punishment? I see punishment It means you read the whole newspaper Yes You're not supposed to miss N.E.A Yes So you can imagine Okay, I genzis haiku sumagazeti This is a punishment Ya you're not a punishment Because I want to a tiktok Ukiwambia watch all the videos on tiktok about maths They will enjoy that So you don't punch my eye My goodness Ya alright Now education You know education is really key to any child's life Any person growing up you know In terms of Want you being in teaching How long have you been teaching? You've been teaching with others Not really long This is my second year You're good I'm still children in the profession But I'm sorry We are learning every day Alright How does education play a role in someone's life In shaping their future and all that So I think a teacher has a very big role In the learner's life Remember we are with these kids For most part of the year Aki rilisyona the parent We are with them Almost every time And one thing The teacher does is to instill knowledge When I say feeling knowledge is what we have on books And number two Is disciplining So when we put discipline in the picture This is part of also molding character Then of course The teacher plays a big role In also the esteem of the learner How you teach How you approach different issues Like now it's good you say it Gen Z Zile is going to face Sika maze tu Nito fauti kabisa Very very different And how you approach them really really matters So as a teacher You have a very big role You can tell Sayu na zambia mtoto kitu Na yafekta her life forever Or his life Sayu na zambia mtoto yu utakua failure Ay I mean that's nothing You just say I have a teacher and I paint him But sayu can't tell a learner that And it's so serious So even The words we use The council we have And schools have integrated so much Just to help in making someone holistic Shule sayu ziko na canceling departments Every kid must be in a game Or a sport Or a society It's not all about fuchs So as teachers We are also there Making sure umu saya kupua drama Kupua nini, kupua he And you could be that there They are their future So a teacher plays a big big big role In shaping Samals future And Samals character So in so many aspects So socially, physically, spiritually Moli mwa kwa pate centre So it's a very very sensitive area It's like you've dedicated your entire life To that student, to that school So na pata kama sayu Third term Forget third term Second term Second term molika four months shule You are there for four months And you have to be there with them In terms of education Napa una funza una Peri una Peri I have a spiritual aspect Na una skuizi shule Na itwaji chaplainci And all that Yes, yes, yes Actually umu Speaking on behalf of our school Meriliki We take Christianity very very seriously And of course we respect as a religion Because we can't force again We respect that And their schools have gotten a much higher In terms of incorporating Christianity in schools We have programs inside schools That help to nurture students spiritually Like ala skulu also have Apart from wad, kupuichon, anini, anini We also have the creative arm Of the Christian union Where we have drama We have music We have fine art We have poetry And music academy Oh So you know Music academy Alright, that's nice So apart, so you know when Because muntaki skia Back in the days Tonight we have to Friday I'm a preach bass You know I must stand it Una get splandime kuja You know, people will prepare their seats Umu You know, because it's a lala Karibu the half the session We even call artists over You know We have a very Good weekend challenges And invite other schools You know, just to make them feel Atakamatu kwa kristianiti It's not boring It's okay to have fun In school And as a Christian So we also look at those things And it's true here Every school I believe Sahi Mama na kristianiti Is being taken very, very seriously Even as to assist to deal with the issues These kids are facing now at it Yes Alright I know you being part of Meriliki You've seen things here and there We've experienced some good and bad times Are there challenges that teachers face Not just you But generally teachers Some of the challenges they face Teachers wanna face A lot of challenges I'd say And also what can be done To become maybe these challenges I think if I was to Okay, there are many categories Of the challenges You know Kuna mambu na karikilam Implementation We have guys on the phone Za shulezenya Akuna resources And it's true Sometimes we only see The good schools Kuna shulezenya Akuna books No, na books kapsa Desks hazi toshi Oro na kawane Akuna blackwoods poa Zaishulezenya kuna whiteboards Bado kuna shulezenya kuna blackwoods Na blackwoodi kuna shimo And it's a challenge I also think teachers face a lot When it comes to attitude Mi na kumuka tulisumbali mo saana Mimi nili kwa muzuri by the way Mimi nili kwa muzuri Muzuri Muzuri Mi ksana jari muku se maikitu Nili kwa muzuri Kwa lanas can decide kuku sumbuha And it's a challenge actually So this one is for especially those Who are now new to the profession Lanas can really Make you have a hard time Especially kama ujya kwa grounded Now you go to a boy school And you are a young lady And they make sure they have Fishi waves Of concentrating in class Na nini So also in class kuna challenges Kamahizo But again these are things That can also come with time Again also Kiku jakuwa teachers who are advanced in age Accepting that to me by the leaker How we used to teach kitambosi Kwa muzasai Iwa transition pia It's a challenge But of course Even financially In other countries If you do your research Muzuri Wale muku unje It's a very serious profession And it's true We are where we are because of teachers I don't believe that because there was a teacher So sometimes I think teachers Ha shuguliki sana yo pande So it's also a challenge Some of the teachers work in hardship areas And I think the role they play In someone's life Pia una faku shuguliki wakabesa So wali muna fes so many challenges And I think maybe looking into the future I'm trusting that our country Will embrace teaching as a very Very serious career Kitambot wali mwali kwa naisimwa sana Atu kwenje Sana Ili kwa kariya kujibunia Kusiki katiwa nimi toto wa malimu The respect you get Urueni malimu You see those dogs that Zina kwa ngati Ueni bibi ya malimu Ueni wana Malimu ame sema Malimu ame ne tuma So even if you are interacting Malimu ame sema ii Malimu ame sema ii Malimu ame sema ii Malimu ame sema ii Ili kariya ikona Ikona wazira hadmi But I know over time It hasn't been looked at Like something that is really important And people are shying away from that Sindio, for that career Kukuna Genzi mo nyantakwa malimu Ay How po me interact now Infact in my classes Who wants to become a Genzi Class? Kwa tu anaka takabesa If the society We may be watered down The name of a teacher Naka ni kama ni kwa siya kuhepa Mbili ni kwa siya hii Naka kwa siya hii na mabika ma teacher But it's something to be proud of We can proud of being a teacher And it's a profession So I think walking into the future Also guys should embrace teaching And I think pia maybe wana wana Kama malimu tu na ino mataw Yuku kila sigo We should also join that profession So I think we should also look into Making this profession more Marketable and more friendly Even for our learners Right, education Is power People are going to embrace education It's something that cannot go away Ata tukileta ai I wish I would tell you Malimu wa tutahimu That role is still needed And really appreciate you Teacher Mike for coming in Salame wa rebuangu I'm a really kid I really love those girls And um Mbili na tu matalam Yes, first you mentioned You mentioned your social media Your social media platform How people can even reach you Instagram Facebook Mike Rope That's R-O-P-I-E Then I would like to send a big shout out To the Mereleki Plataniti You know what I'm saying I'm a tajen Kama uneza wa kumbukoneza wa tajen Niwingi Agnes Wote Wotes A big shout out to you guys And um Gazoching at home My mum and brothers all the way in Nyeri My good friends Maurice, Kennedy Thanguia Brenda, Machakos So many of them Thank you so much for tuning in Alright Thank you so much teacher Kukoja Nashukurusana Nashukurusana Yes Teachers you need for the education we want You really appreciate you You know what I also admire what the government does Usually it does its best to appreciate The teachers in all ways To monajuzi wamongze wa kapa-centage pali Please government wongze Nipi another percentage Kapuraisana Yes across all social media platforms Atwa254 If you get to appreciate teacher Mika Apa uneza umsalamiya pali And also appreciate the teachers Your teacher, your favorite teacher Your teacher that shaped your life Education future in any way Atwa254 across all social media Platform guys Guys we've come to the end To the end of the show At the end Oh Sogoso today we will not be having our inspiration But guys next Sunday We want to tune in because To the end of the story of the prodigal son To anyone what God Is able to do What God is capable of doing To someone who willingly Repents is amazing thing So tune in next Sunday From 11 a.m. here on Y254 J.C.
