The Teacher Who Refused to Stop Learning

Margaret Chidi (née Hart) has spent more than a decade shaping young minds as a teacher. Today, she is proving that great educators never stop being students. Through self-directed learning, she has embraced artificial intelligence, using it to design learning materials, create lecture notes, and enhance her teaching. Her journey is a powerful reminder that innovation isn't defined by age or profession—it's driven by curiosity, courage, and a willingness to keep learning. Margaret's story celebrates the quiet heroism of lifelong learning and inspires educators across Africa to embrace the future with confidence.
