Zainab Soyfoo holds a Bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Mauritius, a Postgraduate Certificate of Education in English and a Masters degree in Education from the University of Brighton.

The focus of her latest research was based on Holistic Education promoting the notion that there is more to a learner than just the cognitive aspect. In line with UNESCO, she supports the view that wholeness in human beings involves their intellectual, social, psychological, emotional and physical development – a perspective neglected by mainstream education.

Her vocation as an English educator at secondary schools and a part-time drama tutor at the Mauritius Institute of education is based on a dynamic approach to learning. She involves various hands-on activities to keep the learning process engaging and efficient. This is echoed in her innovative leading style that she has brought to Aurora Toastmasters Club as Vice President of Education. With a significant resource of unique team building materials, she stirs group dynamics creating a rippling synergy.

In order to promote a bonding relationship between parents and their children during the early learning stage, Zainab has founded the enterprise Zedesse (www.zedesse.com). For 3 years now, the Company keeps on bringing new ideas to parents and children so that concepts of spelling, word building, and sentence structures become more understandable.

Zainab’s passion for poetry and photography deeply rooted in the of wonders of Nature carried her from leaves to flowers, to trees to branches and soon she found herself amidst the moon and the stars as her veins inked poetic verses. This is the beginning of her new journey at International Astronomical Union – National Outreach Committee (IAU NOC).
