Knowledge must be recreated through participation and cross-pollination. Learning leads to social inclusion and intellectual openness. I am a learner who believes in radical alternatives and forensic approaches to teaching and research. I am open to opportunities for learning to excel in my intellectual journey. - Munir Moosa

I do not consider teaching as a profession rather a reflective journey that leads to optimism, improvement, selfless devotion and life-long learning. Teachers are the symbol of altruism...Their prime concern is to explore teaching identity, and help self and others' grow ethically and intellectually (Extracted from Munir's Teacher Identity Model)
