EXECUTIVE SECRETARY CBEK

The Pakistani Church is "a small but not silent Church; that does not have many resources and therefore must make choices. But one thing is certain: it must focus on the education of young people "

We are living in a fast-changing world. The pace of change is indeed so fast that almost everything seems to be in transformation mode. Since education cannot exist in isolation, the system needs to take cognizance of these developments.
Besides academic excellence, our institutions are committed to inculcating in all its students, strong ethical values of integrity, politeness, kindness and respect for elders. Each student is a unique individual with special gifts and talents â€“ we hope that with motivation, encouragement and hard work that all our students will discover their individual talents and develop into mature, happy, responsible young adult who is prepared to face the future with confidence. Education all over the world is undergoing a radical shift. Knowledge is no longer constrained by time and space. It has expanded beyond the classrooms and school campuses. In today's world, how much you know does not matter, application of the acquired knowledge is more important. This is where excellence in present-day education lies. The youth of today exhibits unparalleled genius and is to be prepared for the global stage. Schools should aim at grooming the students into ethical and principled leaders of tomorrow, whose thoughts and actions are deeply embedded in the values and culture of our land. I firmly believe that education should foster confidence, discipline, clarity in thought and decision-making ability to set and achieve goals, and above all, social responsibility as a life-long process. After this Covid-19 period, the challenge lies in utilizing the changing learning patterns with changes in the methods of instruction coupled with technological advancements, to create an educational experience that will influence the holistic development of students and uphold our commitment towards the community and nation-building.
