Captain Osama Shakman

A valued teacher enlightens a mind; an exhausted teacher extinguishes the enthusiasm of an entire classroom.

By this simple equation, the course of education is set—and with it, the future of society as a whole.

Advanced education systems have realized that the real wager is not on buildings or overloaded curricula, ĺbut on people first—and on teachers above all.

Hence the careful selection, continuous professional development, fair compensation, and clear career pathways.

There, the teacher is not seen merely as a transmitter of information, but as a designer of learning experiences and an architect of thinking in the classroom.

When the role is reduced to executing instructions, the school loses its soul and becomes a factory of certificates without impact.

When the teacher is redefined as a learning designer, everything changes: from rote instruction to competencies, from memorization to inquiry, and from exams to projects.

The classroom becomes a space for thinking, and mistakes turn into opportunities for learning rather than causes for fear.

This is not only a moral issue; it is a profound development issue.

Every investment in teachers returns many times over in innovation, stability, and productivity. If we want an education that shapes destiny, the true beginning can only be here: by transforming the conditions of the teaching profession and restoring its rightful status.
