The future of the world is in the classrooms of today!
A word from the School Head “Happiness is the highest form of health” ~ Dalai Lama As much as we miss the daily school routine, the early morning shouts of good morning teacher, the exciting greetings of students to each other, the shrill sound of the school bell followed by the cheers of our young students and their endless chirping, we suddenly find ourselves compelled to live through the most unusual and difficult circumstances than ever. We move on, each day with some new information, new research or a new coping mechanism which sometimes is authentic and sometimes mere speculation. The new world, where keeping distance is now the safest mode of connection, demands a response that is well-thought, rational and sensible. To ensure a healthy, safe and productive environment for ourselves and our children we need to adapt and respond practically. Not only is it time to reflect but also to analyze and decide a way forward. COVID-19 has endorsed the fact that the role of technology is undeniable. We as adults can model for our kids and teach them to look for opportunities even in the toughest of times. The students’ and teachers’ contributions during the five weeks of BSU before Ramzan were very promising. It was an equally fruitful yet different learning experience for all the stakeholders. The teaching and learning approaches will keep on evolving and as I mentioned earlier how quickly and open-mindedly we adapt or respond to them will determine their outcomes.

I pray the hustle and bustle of our school returns soon as there is no substitute for the real time experience of a classroom, where the teachers try to meet individual needs of their students and create an environment which contributes to long lasting learning. However, the process of teaching and learning has to go on, and for that BSU platform is the best alternative where the teaching faculty assures to provide an environment closest to the real classroom. Furthermore; I am very hopeful that together we can explore new opportunities in this challenging time and consolidate upon them to build foundations to a new future. Regards,
