New Delhi, Oct. 28 -- New Zealand's former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has now joined the teaching profession after five tumultuous years in charge of the Pacific nation. She will be a lecturer at the University of Sydney, focusing on empathetic leadership, social cohesion and civic trust. The former prime minister said she hoped to "explore and develop ways to better serve our communities".

Ardern, 43, who retired from politics in January 2023, will take up a Professor of Practice role this month and will deliver guest lectures and masterclasses, as well as provide mentoring.

"I'm delighted to be joining the University of Sydney," Ardern said in a statement.
