Two Oceans Graduate Institute

Two Oceans Graduate Institute (TOGI) is proud to continue strengthening its relationship with the South African Council for Educators (SACE) through meaningful engagement that supports the professional development of future educators.

Recently, TOGI had the privilege of hosting a SACE Student Teacher Consultative Workshop on the Draft Code of Professional Ethics for Student Teachers. Our BEd Foundation Phase and Intermediate Phase student teachers actively participated in this national consultation, contributing valuable insights towards shaping the ethical standards of the teaching profession in South Africa.

This engagement reflects the important role that TOGI student teachers and graduates play within the broader education sector. It also demonstrates our ongoing commitment to preparing educators who are professionally competent, ethically grounded, and ready to contribute positively to schools and communities.

We are particularly encouraged by the growing collaboration between TOGI and SACE as we work together to advance quality teacher education and support the professional journey of both current students and alumni.

To our students, graduates, partners and stakeholders: thank you for your continued confidence in TOGI. We remain committed to excellence in teacher education and to developing educators who lead with integrity, professionalism and purpose.

Sometimes, finding your purpose means letting go of the future you first imagined.

Tomorrow, we share the story of a woman whose journey led her back to the community that helped shape her.

It is a story of purpose, perseverance and choosing to make a difference.

Her TOGI story is coming tomorrow.

Some stories remind us that the path to becoming a teacher is not always straight.

Tomorrow, we share a journey shaped by opportunity, perseverance, motherhood, hard work and a calling that slowly became clear.

It is a story of growth.

A story of someone who kept going.

And a reminder that sometimes, the place you start is not the place you are meant to stay.

Her TOGI story is coming tomorrow.

Some journeys are not only completed in classrooms.

For Firdaus Saleh Mohamed, her TOGI journey was shaped through faith, motherhood, sacrifice and perseverance.

When she first enrolled at TOGI, she thought she was simply working towards a qualification. Looking back, it became one of the most challenging, yet rewarding journeys of her life.

Over the past few years, Firdaus balanced many roles: student, wife, daughter in law, mother, employee, caregiver and advocate for her children. She studied through two pregnancies while raising a young child and faced the emotional journey of receiving autism diagnoses for her children.

There were days when her car became her classroom. During load shedding, she attended online classes wherever she could find enough signal and battery power. Assignments were completed in therapy waiting rooms, projects were worked on from hospital rooms and studies continued even during one of the hardest moments of all, when her baby was admitted to ICU.

Through tears, sleepless nights and moments where quitting felt easier, she kept going.

She was also not alone. Her sister in law and brother in law supported her endlessly, staying up late, encouraging her and reminding her not to give up when she felt exhausted.

Today, Firdaus has reached the finish line. The assignments are done, the practicals are completed and the long nights are behind her.

This degree was not earned only in a classroom.

It was earned in hospital corridors, therapy waiting rooms, parked cars during load shedding, family gatherings, sleepless nights and through unwavering faith.

No matter what happens next, that is an achievement no one can ever take away from her.

Only 10 days left to apply for our July 2026 intake.

Applications close on 10 July 2026.
