An opportunity which has been offered to Koketso Kgabo Phakubje is sure to make a great impact on his life, and equip him with skills that he would not be able to acquire in a classroom.
Koketso Kgabo Phakubje, a fourth-year student at The Independent Institute of Education’s (IIE’s) Varsity College Waterfall, studying a Bachelor of Education in Intermediate Phase, has been appointed as the new chairperson of the Golden Key International Honour Society.
The society is an organisation that is determined to give learners who obtain remarkable marks the opportunity to grow themselves at an international level.

“I’ve connected with like-minded individuals and gained valuable leadership skills through the society’s mentorship and leadership programmes. Opportunities like being headhunted through industry connections, and participating in initiatives such as the L’Oreal Brand Storm 2025, were through my membership to the society, which has expanded my professional network, and sparked my creativity,” said Phukubje, who is happy about the opportunity that was given to him.
The IIE’s Varsity College Waterfall aims to equip their learners with all the information they need, which will benefit them beyond the learning curve of the classroom.
The academic excellence of their learners is what they pride themselves on, and they hope that all their learners can get the same opportunities Phukubje has received.
