In a sequence of tweets, Modi mentioned, “During the lunch in honour of my friend PM Albanese, the Australian Trade and Tourism Minister Don Farrell shared something interesting? he was taught by one Mrs. Ebert in Grade 1 who left a deep impact on his life and credits her for his educational grounding.”
“Mrs. Ebert, her husband, and her daughter Leonie migrated from Goa in India to Adelaide in the 1950s and started teaching at a school in Adelaide, Australia,” Modi mentioned.
Ebert’s daughter Leonie went on to be the president of the South Australian Institute of Teachers, he mentioned.
“I was happy to hear this anecdote, which underlines the rich cultural connect between India and Australia. It is equally heartening to hear when someone refers to his or her teacher fondly,” Modi mentioned.
