@Hendra hi I'm from Sindh, Pakistan.
While challenges like limited resources and infrastructure exist in Sindh, they inspire us to be more creative and resilient as educators. With dedication and community support, we continue to make a positive impact on our students’ learning journeys.

Sure! Here's a forum post for E
Homework has long been a part of education, aimed at reinforcing learning beyond the classroom. But in today’s fast-paced and pressure-filled environment, many students feel overwhelmed by the amount of homework they receive.

While some homework can support practice and responsibility, too much of it may lead to stress, lack of sleep, and reduced time for hobbies or family. For younger students especially, long assignments may not add real value to learning.

As teachers, we need to ask: Are we assigning homework with purpose, or just out of habit? Quality matters more than quantity. Thoughtfully designed tasks that encourage creativity, reflection, or real-life application can be far more effective than repetitive worksheets.
How much homework is too much?
Do you think homework helps or hurts your students' motivation and well-being?
Let’s share our views and rethink how we assign homework in a way that supports—not burdens—our learners.

@KHAN0e897aa3a22 Enhancing the four core skills listening, speaking, reading, and writing is vital for student development. Project-based learning is a powerful approach, as it integrates all skills naturally. For example, students can research a topic (reading), discuss it in groups (speaking & listening), and present their findings in a report (writing). This real-world, collaborative method boosts engagement and communication skills effectively.

@Ahlam Flipping my class really changed how my students engaged with learning. Instead of just listening in class, they now come prepared and ready to think. Watching short videos or reviewing notes at home gives them time to absorb the basics at their own pace. Then, in class, we solve problems together, discuss ideas, and work through challenges. This shift made even my quiet, passive students more active they ask questions, help each other, and actually enjoy tackling problems. It gave them ownership and confidence, and turned my classroom into a space for real thinking, not just note-taking.

In an age of information overload, memorizing facts isn’t enough students need to learn how to think critically, ask questions, and solve real-world problems.

Teaching beyond the textbook means creating learning experiences that spark curiosity, encourage debate, and connect lessons to life outside the classroom. From project-based learning and inquiry activities to open-ended discussions, there are many ways to build critical thinking skills across all subjects.

How do you encourage your students to think critically? What strategies or activities have worked well in your classroom?

@Lubna8e2f861bdf Teachers are true change makers. They shape not only minds but also hearts, guiding students to grow into responsible, ethical citizens. A teacher’s impact goes far beyond the classroom it touches the future of the whole society.

@Uzma-Farooqui That’s a wonderful approach! Incorporating your own pedagogy and turning topics into games can make learning both effective and enjoyable. Games naturally encourage participation, critical thinking, and collaboration skills students need across all subjects.

Do you have any favorite game based activities you've used recently? I’d love to hear examples or tips on how you design them. Always looking for creative ways to make lessons more interactive!

@Oojala-Tasneem in the next decade, students will need strong digital literacy, critical thinking, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. Skills like collaboration, AI fluency, and lifelong learning will be key to thriving in a fast-changing world.

Re: Gamification in Education

That’s amazing to hear! Gamification truly brings learning to life. Looking forward to your tips always eager to explore new ways to make the classroom more engaging and fun for students!

@BEGUM0167087d15 It’s truly inspiring to see such strong determination in children despite the challenges they face. With the combined efforts of dedicated educators like you, along with support from the government and community, there is real hope for a brighter, more educated future in Pakistan. Keep up the amazing work!

@Nawres-Alabed Education sits at a crossroads between personal growth and workforce preparation. We make advanced study hard to ensure depth and rigor, but that often narrows access and choice. Meanwhile, unemployment persists because education doesn’t always align with market needs, and jobs aren’t just about skills—they're about systems, economies, and access. It’s a complex mismatch between ideals and realities.

@Nawres-Alabed You're not alone
mid-term burnout is real. I try to build in quick mindfulness breaks (even 2 minutes of deep breathing), ease up on the pace when possible, and create space for students to share how they’re feeling. A little empathy and flexibility can go a long way for everyone.

@Nawres-Alabed You're not alone it’s a growing challenge. Try connecting books to their world: graphic novels, audiobooks, TikTok-famous titles, or stories that reflect their lives. Let them choose and own their reading. Curiosity comes alive when they feel seen.

@SAJAN-Mal Learning styles include visual (learning by seeing), auditory (learning by hearing), kinesthetic (learning by doing), and reading/writing preferences. Understanding these helps teachers tailor instruction to meet students’ needs and improve engagement and retention.

@Nawres-Alabed Teaching emotional intelligence helps students build resilience, empathy, and strong relationships—skills they’ll use for life. It’s just as vital as academics in preparing them for the real world.

@Nawres-Alabed Schools can integrate life skills by embedding them into existing subjects, offering short, focused workshops, training teachers through professional development, and partnering with community experts. Prioritizing real-world projects and student-led activities can also build practical experience without overloading the curriculum.

@Hendra can you share the link of this please

@Nguyen-T-Phuong You're absolutely right
class period structure can be overwhelming for both students and teachers. I've faced similar challenges, especially with large class sizes and tight schedules. One strategy that helped me was breaking lessons into smaller, flexible segments and using peer support to keep engagement high. Also, flipped classroom models (where students prep at home and practice in class) can free up time for deeper interaction. You are not alone in this....

@lubna51e0ceefcf I would create an AI Teaching Companion that personalizes learning for each student and supports teachers with smart lesson planning. It would include real-time doubt-solving, voice-based feedback, emotional tone detection in student responses, and creative activity suggestions. It would also adapt stories, questions, and examples to suit different learning styles
making every lesson engaging and inclusive.

@MehranKhan That's such a beautiful moment simple, honest, and deeply insightful.
Kids have a way of seeing things we often overlook.
What your student said is a powerful reminder of how much our presence and energy shape the learning environment. Thank you for sharing this
it’s the kind of reflection that stays with you
