A Zimbabwean woman who came to Ireland and studied law has been elected as a learner representative to the board of AONTAS, the National Adult Learning Organisation.
Joy-Tendai Kangere returned to learning to study a Bachelor of Civil Law degree at UCD Sutherland School of Law while balancing family life with two young children.
During her time in UCD, she advocated for people under-represented at third level to access and participate fully in third level education.
After receiving the prestigious Denham Scholarship, Ms Kangere is now training as a barrister at the King’s Inns.
Liz Waters, outgoing president of AONTAS, said she was “delighted to welcome Joy-Tendai as a learner representative on the AONTAS Board”.
She added: “She will bring a wealth of advocacy experience and knowledge of adult learning to her new role.”
