In this episode I sit down with Lyndon Cura, who makes his bread as a primary school teacher. Education is about lifelong learning, as well as the acquisition and transmission of knowledge. This often takes place in a formal setting such as a classroom. The process of education can also occur through any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, acts and feels.

Lyndon says that the opportunity to teach has been a dream come true and a blessing in disguise as it has given him the chance to travel the world. His holidays coincide with that of his students so he’s left with a lot of time to be flying around. In saying that, he’s actually currently based at an International School in China, though he was lucky enough to leave before the outbreak of the coronavirus, which was very fortunate for the both of us.

He’s not currently allowed back into there due to the quarantine, but he’s still able to remotely teach his students via online learning. This is a far cry from the blackboards that we were used to whilst growing up.
