All this feels like a dream truly unbelievable from a small village classroom to being recognized on an international platform… I have no words just deep emotions

It’s not just my achievement it’s a win for every teacher working with limited resources for every child with big dreams and for every classroom tucked away in a quiet corner of the world

Thank you UNESCO for giving voices like mine a place to be heard.
Thank you to the entire UNESCO team the incredible Madam Asma bhatti who took me to this platform and believed in me and every person behind this journey I am deeply humbled and forever grateful.

This moment is not just a trophy it's a reminder that hope, effort, and heart can take you anywhere ️

Hello everyone!

Let’s share some easy, low-cost or no-cost tools or methods we use in the classroom that truly help students learn better. It can be anything a handmade game, a local resource, a smart routine, or even a creative way of explaining something difficult.

What’s one simple thing you do in your class that really works?

Looking forward to learning from your ideas!

Hello dear fellows,
In our village schools PTM(parent teacher meetings) are still a new idea many parents don’t attend maybe because of work lack of awareness or they feel nervous coming to school but I’ve seen that when even one parent comes and hears something good about their child it brings such happiness and confidence to the student we try small things inviting parents personally choosing a day according to there availability and making sure every parent hears something positive slowly it’s making a difference.

Dear fellows please share ideas that can help more parents feel encouraged to attend PTMs.

In the next decade students will need skills like problem solving digital literacy and emotional intelligence. To build these, we should focus on project based learning collaborative tasks and real world challenges in the classroom.Teaching them how to learn independently and think creatively will prepare them for a future we can't yet predict.

I’ve noticed some of my girl students are very bright and creative but when it comes to speaking in front of the class they become extremely shy and nervous. They have so much potential but hesitate to express it publicly.

As teachers what strategies or small activities do you use to help such students feel more comfortable and confident?

Let’s share ideas on how we can gently encourage them build their confidence and create a supportive environment where they can shine.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!

Hello everyone!

I’m Afshan Shah a Junior Elementary School Teacher.

I work in a government school, and the part I love most is helping young my young girls build a strong learning foundation especially those who are learning to read and write for the first time. It’s always special to see their faces light up when they understand something new.

In my free time, I enjoy designing simple classroom activities and making handmade learning aids using everyday materials. It helps me bring creativity into the classroom without needing much.

Happy to be here and looking forward to learning from you all!

I have a very sweet and expressive girl in my class but she struggles with her speech when she talks it’s sometimes hard to understand her and a few students tease her when she reads out loud.This really hurts her confidence even though she’s so bright and always willing to participate.
I always try to make her feel comfortable and stop any teasing right away but I want to do something more something that makes her feel confident and valued in the class.
Have any of you tried helpful activities or strategies for children with speech clarity problems?
I’d love to learn from your experience.

Thank you so much in advance

Hello Amazing Teachers,
Many of our students find it hard to remember facts or feel bored while trying to recall information so I tried an activity in my classroom to make recalling more fun and effective and it really worked

Activity:
In Social Studies instead of asking students to just memorize the names of provinces I turned it into a fun “memory walk” activity

We stood in a circle and acted like we were traveling across Pakistan:

🟢 Sindh – We waved our hands like a breeze to show the wind from the coastal area of Karachi.

Punjab – We clapped twice representing the “land of five rivers” with two hands meeting like rivers joining.

Balochistan – We stomped our feet slowly like walking through a rocky,
hilly area.

🟠 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa – We raised our arms like strong mountains to show the northern ranges.

We repeated the movements and names together for a few days students loved it and could easily recall the provinces later what was once boring became fun active and memorable

Dear fellows how do you think we can help students improve their memory and make recalling fun in the classroom?
Let’s share more ideas and make remembering fun for our little stars

Hello Amazing Teachers,

As teachers we hold a pen but sometimes that pen carries more than marks and corrections it carries hope encouragement and magic
In my classroom I started writing little remarks on students notebooks not just about their work but about them when a student did something with extra effort or showed improvement I’d write something like:
“You’re my little shining star ”

The moment I wrote this in one student’s notebook others noticed it and soon everyone wanted that star it became a source of motivation students started trying harder more effort not just because of marks but because they wanted to be seen and appreciated.
That one small sentence became a goal for many little hearts.

Dear teacher friends what words do you write in notebooks that make your students smile or feel special?
Please share your words might inspire someone else today.

@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.

Hello dear teachers,
Today I want to share with you how I check if all students have really grasped the day’s lesson by playing this simple fun game it keeps everyone engaged while helping me see who understood and who needs more support.

Pass the Map

How to Play:
1.I hand over a soft ball (or any small object).
2. Play some music for a few seconds. Students pass the ball around.
3. When the music stops the student holding the ball answers one question related to today’s lesson

Example: “Name one river .”

Or “Which province has the largest desert?”

4. If they answer correctly they stay in the game.If not they get one lifeline from a friend.

5. After 6–7 rounds we give a big clap for everyone.

Students love it:

It feels like play not a test.
Everyone listens carefully because they might be next it builds team spirit and keeps the lesson fresh in their minds and helps me quickly check who understood the lesson.

Such a thoughtful post! What if we replaced some homework with collaborative activities or family based learning? It could make the experience more meaningful and less stressful

What a brilliant way to bring the K-W-L strategy to life really appreciate how you emphasized curiosity and reflection two things that make learning meaningful your approach shows how even complex ideas can be simplified for young learners through conversation and visuals a truly adaptable method that encourages students to take ownership of their learning
