During their basic counseling skills workshop, teachers of Mulomulo Secondary School were reminded to take time to de- stress at the end of each school day.
This will ensure that all negatives of the previous day are not carried forward into a new school day.
This will also enable teachers to see the 30 children under their charge as all potential students ‘with 10 out of 10 above their heads’.
The Minister for Education, Mr Filipe Bole has always emphasized on effective and efficient deliverance of teachers as the most important resource in the classroom.
When a teacher is under stressful circumstances, it may just hinder 100 per cent performance.
To help de-stress, teachers can indulge in activities as going for a walk, breathing exercise, having a real good laugh over a funny joke, writing a poem or just taking a good eight hours sleep.
Adverse effects of stress include ill mental health, ill health, emotional disturbance and behavioral change.
