Mixed Reactions as Kenyan Teacher Wekesa Eyes Guinness World Record For Longest Science Lesson: Tata, a teacher at St Austin’s Academy Lavington has declared her intention to teach for a minimum of 50 hours.
She will aim to teach the longest science class ever on February 13, 2024, and hopes she can break the record and hold the Guinness World Record for the longest science lesson.
She is going to teach Biology, Chemistry and Physics for at least 50 hours non-stop in these attempts.
Tata stated,“I decided to do this because as a teacher I do not like how science classes are packed and many students end up not fulfilling their potential. I want to show the doable and interesting side of science. I want to motivate young ones in school who want to become teachers by showing a teacher can achieve greater things beyond the classroom,”
“Teaching is a noble career and teachers should be highly esteemed. I intend to use the platform and the record to reach out to bodies that make policies to do with education and advocate for reforms,” she added.
She acknowledges it is not an easy move but is determined and optimistic about persevering through the challenge.
She stated,“I have been working on building my endurance, I have a team behind me that has helped with the lesson plan. The past three days, I stayed awake for 44 hours to train my body to stay awake.”
