Rose Tata Wekesa, a science teacher from Kenya, appears to have set a potential world record for the longest uninterrupted science lesson.
The classroom laboratory, situated in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, erupted with cheers as the clock reached 50 hours.
However, Ms. Wekesa did not stop there and continued beyond the 50-hour mark. The validity of the record will now be assessed by Guinness World Records.
She teaches biology and chemistry at St. Austin’s Academy, an international school in Nairobi.
In an interview with the privately owned Citizen Digital news website last month, she explained that she undertook the challenge to showcase the practical and fascinating aspects of science.
“I want to inspire young students who aspire to become teachers by demonstrating that a teacher can achieve remarkable feats beyond the classroom,” she said.
