Another student, Soro Vakagone, shared similar feelings. After receiving her offer for the Bachelor of Education program, she remarked on the joy she felt. “It was a really good feeling to receive my offer letter, and I will be studying for a Bachelor of Education this year,” she said, emphasizing the importance of this new chapter in her educational journey.
