During a recent government meeting, officials highlighted the success of the \"Grow Your Own\" program, designed to support individuals aspiring to become teachers without the traditional educational pathway. The initiative aims to assist those who may not have had the opportunity to pursue a conventional teaching program while they earn their college degrees and teaching licenses.

Miss Galuzi, who has been instrumental in leading the program, provided insights into its development and impact. The program seeks to address teacher shortages by cultivating local talent and providing a pathway for community members to enter the education field. This approach not only helps to diversify the teaching workforce but also strengthens the connection between schools and their communities.

The meeting underscored the importance of such initiatives in fostering educational opportunities and addressing workforce challenges in the teaching profession.
