The Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest science lesson taught by a single person is presently being pursued by a Kenyan teacher. Teaching for a minimum of fifty hours is Rose Tata Wekesa’s goal.
She teaches biology and chemistry at St. Austin’s Academy, an international school in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. However, she is taking on the challenge at the Multimedia University of Kenya, which is located about 16 kilometers (nine miles) outside of the city.
As of Thursday at 8:00 GMT, Ms. Wekesa had completed the challenge in slightly more than 42 hours. She intends to keep trying until Friday.
“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,” Ms Wekesa told the privately owned Citizen Digital news website ahead of the challenge last month.
She added that to prepare her body for the challenge, she had slept for 44 straight hours.
