It is not an overstatement to say that a
great teacher can change lives and reshape communities. As some of the most influential role models
in communities, teachers are responsible for more than just academic
enrichment. One of such great teacher whose trappings have gone beyond the four walls of a classroom is Ken Martin Atanga, the Principal of GBHS
Nkambe. Ken Martin is a teacher par excellence, a school manager and a teaching
teacher.
He
is such a teacher that is committed to the students’ well-being both inside and
outside the classroom. What makes him a teaching teacher lies in the fact that
every morning, Ken always take some time to talk to students on the important
life lessons that will help them succeed beyond term papers and standardized tests. A
teacher who teaches everywhere he goes.
It is not always easy to shape a person
which is why it takes a great teacher like Ken Martin to do so. Despite the fact that he is Principal of the
largest school in Donga Mantung Division, he remains humble, down to earth and
reflects the character of the old day teacher whose job did not only revolves
around subject matter, but lessons on life. A visit to GBHS Nkambe will tell
you that the man is very concern with the learning and teaching environment as
the buildings have been rehabilitated, and sporting infrastructures developed.
His trappings at the helm of GBHS Nkambe earned him one of the highest distinct
titles in Mbum land from the Nkambe Fon’s palace Happy Teachers Day Sir Ken Martin Atanga.
