I would like to thank the teacher for the strong messages in the literature, which instilled me with even more determination and energy. Thank you for your engagement which was an added impetus to my drive.”

This is what Dr Sedej said on the students choosing her as the Best Teacher: “As a teacher and entrepreneur, I appreciate the linking of theory and practice. I am aware that the knowledge gained during one’s studies is a decisive companion for life and I therefore encourage values such as responsibility and openness to change, innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit, progress and development. I use various activities to guide students towards thinking about their advantages and potentials, their purpose and future in accordance with global trends.

In the business world, I am doing exactly what I always wanted and the title of the Best Teacher is not only a recognition for a job well done but a strong encouragement for the future. A sincere thank you to all who voted for me.”
