Mbeke Waseme: A Jamaican bringing a new take on education to the world

Impacting Jamaica

Born and raised in the UK to Jamaican parents, Mbeke Waseme grew up wanting to be an air hostess, but was encouraged by her parents to be more realistic in choosing her vocation in life, so she became a teacher. Traveling, living, and teaching in many different countries, Mbeke has inspected, analyzed, and made recommendations within the education system in many different countries. “If we get education right it affects everything,” she declared, adding: “Once you master the science of teaching you will have more successful lessons…” Not only has she observed, retrained teachers and senior leaders, but she has also developed bespoke programmes to help make an impact on the teaching profession within those countries.
