Sparking Change: Classroom Conversations on Girls’ Education

---

This year, we focused on promoting the importance of girls' education through classroom discussions, posters, and storytelling sessions. Students explored real-life stories of women who achieved success through education. It sparked meaningful conversations about equal opportunities and inspired both girls and boys."

Have you introduced activities or projects in your classroom to raise awareness about gender equality and the value of girls’ education? What impact did it have on your students?**

Yes, we have introduced several activities in our classroom to raise awareness about gender equality and the importance of girls’ education. These included interactive role-plays, debates, poster-making competitions, and storytelling sessions featuring influential women in various fields. We also organized group discussions where students expressed their views on equal rights and the barriers girls face in accessing education.

The impact on students was very positive. Girls felt more confident and motivated, seeing real examples of women who succeeded through education. Boys became more understanding and supportive of the idea that everyone deserves equal opportunities. Overall, these activities helped create a more respect

Yes,i presented the examples of women who are shinning ."Pakistani women who have proven their excellence through their work, and women from around the world who have made their mark through their achievements."

Yes, recently we have invited the officers from Traffic police department in our school to motivate our students about their profession, teaching traffic signals and signs to protect them. The best part was the appearance of lady officer who presented her journey to the girls and motivate them to not only focused for teaching, engineering, or medical as their career but traffic police department is also equally important and welcomed girls to take this profession as their career.

@DEXTE176e4f8265 great .
I Focused on praising girls' efforts, creativity, teamwork, and leadership, rather than just their academic success. This helped shift the focused from grades to overall development.

@DEXTE176e4f8265 idea is very nice and i think to strengthen the girls it is necessary to aware them that you can do.
its my wish i will properly arrange this activity in my school too.

We haven’t introduced specific activities focused on gender equality and girls’ education yet, but we definitely plan to do so. Your ideas like storytelling sessions, posters, and discussions—are very encouraging, and we look forward to incorporating similar projects in our classroom. We believe these activities will spark important conversations, promote empathy, and help students understand the value of equal opportunities for all. We’re excited to see the positive impact it will have on our students' mindset and classroom environment.

@DEXTE176e4f8265 Yes absolutely I did a storytelling and poster activity on girls education. The girls felt proud and motivated many said it made them believe more in their own potential. I also gave a presentation topic in class on the “Her Story, Her Power” project where students shared real stories of educated women from our area.

@DEXTE176e4f8265 "What a powerful initiative! Promoting girls' education through storytelling and real-life role models is a great way to make the issue relatable and impactful. In my classroom, we organized a 'Voices of Change' week where students researched and presented stories of women leaders from different fields. It not only raised awareness about gender equality but also encouraged students to reflect on their own goals and the importance of inclusive opportunities. The discussions were eye-opening for many and helped build empathy, confidence, and a stronger sense of community."

if you educate a girl, youeducate the whole family"

@Sanaa This is such an inspiring initiative! Highlighting real-life success stories is a powerful way to show students what’s possible through education. We've also started a mentorship program where older students guide younger ones, with a focus on encouraging girls to pursue their interests confidently. It’s amazing to see how open discussions can shift mindsets and promote equality in the classroom

@Sanaa At Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Hali Road, Hyderabad, we recently introduced a unique House System where each house is named after an iconic Pakistani woman — to highlight the power, potential, and pride of our girls.
Our Houses Include:
Fatima Jinnah & Begum Ra'ana Liaquat Ali – Freedom Fighters
Bilqees Edhi – Social Worker
Arfa Kareem – IT Prodigy
Naseem Hameed – Athlete
Samina Baig & Naila Kiyani – Mountaineers
Marium Mukhtar & Nigar Johar – Armed Forces
Namira Salim – Space Scientist
Through this initiative, we aim to show our students that girls can achieve greatness in every field. When young girls see such role models, they dream bigger — and strive to become leaders, innovators, and changemakers.
To deepen the message, I also wrote a motivational poem titled "Parhay Gi Dhee Rani", promoting girls' education with pride and hope:
"Parhay Gi Dhee Rani, to mehken ge gulistaan
Ujala phailaye gi, banay gi woh nishaan..."
(Full poem shared in our school activities.)

This poem is inspired by the vision of Sardar Shah, supported by DEO Aziz Rehman, and uplifted through the dedication of Director Ghulam Sarwar Mallah. Their leadership is bringing light to every village and city through education.
Let’s keep inspiring young minds!
Because when a daughter learns, a nation rises.
