In the next decade, students will need a mix of critical skills to succeed in a fast-changing world. These include digital literacy, critical thinking, creativity, and strong communication abilities. Emotional intelligence, adaptability, and collaboration will be just as important as technical skills. An entrepreneurial mindset and global awareness will also help students navigate challenges and seize new opportunities. Preparing students with these skills will ensure they are ready for both the workforce and the responsibilities of global citizenship.

Warm greetings to all educators, mentors, and classroom changemakers!
You play a powerful role in shaping minds — and the role models you introduce can shape dreams.

We all know how impactful role models can be — they inspire, guide, and help students believe in their own potential.
But how often do we reflect on which role models our students are exposed to?

Let’s reflect together:

Do the role models in your classroom reflect your students' dreams and identities?
Have you introduced strong female role models to your students recently?
How do students — especially girls — react when they see relatable success stories?
What creative ways have you used to bring role models into your classroom?
Can representation truly change the way children imagine their future?

Your thoughts can inspire others.

@Ana_moderator Hello everyone!
I am Hira Tayyaba from Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan.

I work as a Junior Elementary School Teacher.
My favorite part of the job is connecting students’ learning to the real world. STEAM education gives me the perfect opportunity to make this connection through hands-on, creative, and meaningful activities.

In my spare time, I love thinking of new ideas to improve my teaching methods and make learning more engaging for my students.

Looking forward to learning and growing with this amazing community!

@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.

I truly believe that the words we use for children can shape the way they see themselves. Sometimes, even a single sentence can stay with a child for life.
If we keep calling a child "lazy," "naughty," or "slow," they might start believing it and give up trying. But if we use positive words like "hardworking," "creative," or "kind," it encourages them to grow in those directions. They begin to feel confident and capable.
A great example is Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan. His teachers used to call him a dedicated and curious student. That belief in him helped him rise and become one of Pakistan’s most respected scientists.
It shows us how powerful kind and thoughtful words can be.
So yes, let’s give children labels — but the kind that lift them up. Labels that give them hope, confidence, and the courage to keep going.

I enjoy many extracurricular activities that play a vital role in shaping students’ personalities. I especially like to include educational games in my class, as they make learning fun and engaging. I also appreciate science fairs, debates, drama, arts, and sports activities because they enhance students’ creativity, confidence, teamwork, and physical well-being.

Hi educators! I hope you both are doing well. I completely agree with @Samreen-Tahir and @Afshan . The integration of modern tools with traditional methods not only makes the learning process more beautiful but also sustains students’ interest and enhances the teaching-learning experience.

@Izzeddin-Qasem Thank you, Izzeddin. I appreciate your kind words and completely agree — connecting learning to real-life success through diverse role models can truly shape students' ambitions. Your project, Faseeh, sounds fascinating — integrating AI into teaching prosody is such an innovative approach. Wishing you continued success!

@Syakt513fd9bea8 Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback on my video "Element Explorer" — it truly means a lot!

I also watched your video on sound waves using traditional instruments, and I found it really interesting and creative! The way you connected cultural elements with scientific concepts was impressive.
