“IED has given me a remarkable experience in both my educational and social life. It's tight schedule and adherence to standards has made me committed to service and has given me the ability to work under minimum supervision. Socially, it has connected me to people from different countries in East Africa and the rest of Africa. It's with no doubt that IED has moulded me to the person I'm today- personally and professionally. I'm one amongst the people my organisation depends on when it comes to supporting teachers in quality delivery of education to pupils. This has been possible due to good orientation acquired at AKU regarding being independent, responsible and original.”
