Ruth Ledua Overcomes Barriers

Nabua Secondary School Mat­ua Programme dux Ruth Ledua, 33, believes educa­tion has no barriers.

Ms Ledua was also the highest achiever for the Matua Year 12 Pro­gramme in 2021, bagging 303. This year her mark was 314.

“When they told me that my mark was 314, I was content but know there is a lot of room for improve­ment,” Ms Ledua said.

“Finally, there will be no more walking from school at times since my budget was tight, finally I have achieved a dream that I can only dream of.”

Ms Ledua has five children, a fam­ily who rallied support throughout her journey.

She never thought of continu­ing school anymore since 2006, but through her husband, Ms Ledua learned about Matua, hence her in­terest to join.
