+ “Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.” Dame Jane Goodall DBE | English Primatologist and Anthropologist
Educational Spring | Wellness by Design®
Yesterday a friend sent me a message about an encounter they had with one of my ex-students at a recent dinner party. This ex-student mentioned the impact that I had on a number of his friends, his words were “you have no idea how many he stopped from suiciding just for being there and being him”. I’m not sharing this message to brag, I am sharing this insight into the true value of teachers and learning communities that operate from a human-centred learning ecosystem design. People need people. Every individual matters.
This got me thinking about what really matters. It amplified for me that the real pandemic of our industrial model of schooling is the growth in mental illness amongst young people. Additionally, COVID-19 sharply illustrated the truth of inequity in our system, especially with reference to the digital divide. According to Pasi Sahlberg from the Gonski Institute for Education, the pandemic has unearthed this unpleasant truth, "The education system has unequal structures that have become visible now through this remote online learning period."
So, what if we placed wellness at the centre of our society? What if we made it central to the objectives of learning? What is the interconnected relationship between character, competency and wellness within a whole education? What might be the global context for this?
The World Economic Forum has explored whether gross domestic product is still a relevant measure of a population’s wellbeing for many years. Looking at what alternatives could offer as mega trends such as climate change, demographic shifts, rapid urbanisation, moves in economic power, resource scarcity and swift advancements in technology innovations reshape our world.
In an interview with the BBC Radio 4 in May 2019, Lord Richard Layard, a Program Director at the London School of Economics and the Vice Chair of the UK All Party Parliamentary Group on Wellbeing Economics, advocated that wellbeing should replace growth as main aim of UK spending. His group drafted a wellbeing report for the UK government, setting out proposals including a bigger budget for mental health, a strategy to improve the wellbeing of children in schools, and more spending on further education for people who don’t go to university.
Australia also performs very well in many measures of wellbeing relative to most other countries in the OECD Better Life Index. Australia ranks at the top in civic engagement and above the average in income and wealth, environmental quality, health status, housing, jobs and earnings, education and skills, subjective well-being, social connections and personal security. Having said that, mental illness remains a serious issue. One in five (20%) Australians aged 16-85 experience a mental illness in any year. Data from the 2014 Mission Australia’s Youth Survey showed that around one in five (21.2%) of young people (15-19 years old) met the criteria for a probable serious mental illness.
Learning Creates Australia recently highlighted the current measures of success and achievement in schooling are causing barriers to excellence rather than leading to excellence in learning outcomes as highlighted below:
New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern wants to transform its politics to focus on empathy, kindness and wellbeing. After talking about “doing things differently” with a “well-being budget” at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in January 2019, Jacinda Ardern’s New Zealand government in May of the same year unveiled its plans to make that strategy a reality.
This move toward a greater commitment toward the health and wellness of communities is not limited to New Zealand. The United Arab Emirates has a Minister of State for Happiness and a National Programme for Happiness and Positivity. It has an agenda that is based on three pillars: inclusion of happiness in the policies, programmes and services of all government bodies and at work, promotion of positivity and happiness as a lifestyle, and development of benchmarks and tools to measure happiness.
Gross National Happiness (GNH) is a philosophy that guides the government of Bhutan. It includes an index which is used to measure the collective happiness and wellbeing of a population. Bhutan measures this collective happiness and wellbeing via a Gross National Happiness index over nine domains as illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Bhutan Gross National Happiness Index
Dream a Dream is a not-for-profit organisation in Delhi, India positively impacting on the lives of young people from vulnerable backgrounds to overcome adversity and flourish in a fast-changing world. One key aspect of their work is the development and implementation of a Happiness Curriculum. The curriculum aims to equip students with skills so that they can better deal with anxiety and stress while thinking critically.
The 45-minute class starts with a meditation session, after which students read and listen to one another’s stories. In addition to textbooks, street plays and yoga serve as teaching tools. The curriculum has been implemented in at least 1,024 Delhi government-run schools, affecting more than 1 million students to date. “In a year and a half, we have already started observing minor but beautiful, positive changes in the relationship of the child and the teacher,” Vishal Talreja Co-founder says. “We have children coming forward and saying, ‘I look forward to coming to school.’”
The Dream a Dream Happiness Curriculum is becoming a model that other governments are promising to replicate in their countries’ classrooms. Countries such as Colombia, UAE, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Nepal.
It is increasingly becoming clear that the main goal of governments is the overall wellbeing of its citizens. Their resources need to be more wisely spent based on what really matters most for the entire human experience. This also presents a real challenge for the entire education sector and makes a strong case for the moral imperative to curate a human-centred Wellness by Design® learning ecosystem.
Will Richardson, Co-Founder of The Big Questions Institute believes “in school, we seem to think learning happens only when it’s age-grouped and graded, or when it’s chunked into time blocks and subjects and meets some predetermined outcomes. Students have “learned” it seems only when they have consumed a mandated bucket of information or content and been tested to make sure they consumed it adequately.”
We have got to stop the testing hamster wheel that burns out children. We cannot and will not continue to be terrorised by the dreaded ATAR, an overbearing student ranking system that ends the careers of school leaders and teachers and drives up anxiety levels in young people. Figure 2 highlights that 64% of those living in inner regional areas and only 40% for those living in very remote regions complete Year 12. Of course, there are other factors impacting on these statics of those in disadvantaged areas, nonetheless the numbers are damming of our current infatuation with an out-dated, one-size fits all industrial model of schooling.
Figure 2: Geographical impact on education attainment rates1
Daniel Koretz, one of the America’s foremost experts on educational testing, argues in The Testing Charade that the whole idea of test-based accountability has failed—it has increasingly become an end in itself, harming students and corrupting the very ideals of teaching. Pressure to raise NAPLAN and ATAR scores dominates much of Australia’s education today. More often than not standardised tests shape what is taught and influence what we value as assessment. In many schools, we seem to think learning happens when it doesn’t look like real life. During the pandemic with the transition online, we’ve been reminded of those things that we value most: relationships, community, the curiosity of young people, and the power of real, authentic self-determined learning.
Please do not interpret my shift in emphasis as denouncing the value of literacy or numeracy data. Not at all. Of course, they have a place in supporting student growth, not just definitions of achievement. Nonetheless quantification measures like NAPLAN and the ATAR have assumed an importance beyond their ability to truly judge and paint the whole picture of each individual.
By its very nature, a crisis turns everything on its head. So now that everything has changed, why not take the opportunity to guide the development of a new culture? Director and Founder of Leading Thinking International, Kathleen Donohoe in a recent post titled Is educational policy constraining a renaissance in education? stated, “Age old traditions such as school times, compulsory hours, the definition of attendance, recognition, reporting and feedback on learning and the definition of student engagement are following the fate of blackboards and chalk, requiring the reimagination of policy, process and procurement.”
We’ve been paralysed in schooling for far too long, educating by living in the world without truly feeling. Now, acutely, we feel that need for an evolution and move toward the next normal. As we grow out of the pandemic, we need to recognise that this is our Educational Spring. It could happen, but it might not. There will be enormous pressure to forget this educational spring moment and go back to the old ways of experiencing schooling life. History is happening right now.
A clear feature of all the models we shared in our Continuous Learning Toolkit | Volume II – Leading Through Crisis has been an explicit focus on wellness. While some have viewed the use of technology as a distraction, the application of technology during COVID-19 has been an opportunity to prioritise wellness into all aspects of planning and scheduling. This new normal of schooling is based on a shared understanding of the significance of the interdependence of learning and wellness as we support each young person to flourish in this new world environment. It requires us to map the connectedness of a whole education for character, competency and wellness. It brings into sharp focus self-direction, self-determination and self-regulation as critical dimensions in fostering the development of resilient, resourceful and independent learners equipped with the adaptive expertise and self-efficacy to thrive in their world. Let us all build back better, with Wellness by Design®.
To prepare today’s learners to thrive in this new world environment, a whole new Wellness by Design® framework is needed. At the centre of this framework must be an explicit purpose-driven social contract based on the reality that all young people are home to a life, and that individual and collective wellness encompass all dimensions of life within any community.
For learning communities, a positive sense of individual wellness supports a base for rich learning growth and achievement, that enables all learners to thrive throughout their time at school and beyond. Wellness and the full flourishing of the individual cannot be separated from learning. Post COVID-19 we have the powerful potential to positively disrupt education forever, and the key is a genuinely human-centred reimagining. Therefore, it is imperative that any continuous learning competency framework for all school communities, needs to develop a learning ecosystem model that Equips the Learner, Empowers the Learner and Enables the Learner, positioning wellness at the heart of school life.
A focus on wellness is imperative now more than ever before - and I’m not talking about a visit to a day spa or a regular massage (although self-pampering is always welcomed). Wellness by Design® refers to a sense of wholeness and connection that entails personal growth, character and competency, healing from the residual of one’s past, and integration of self-worth and agency.
Maintaining personal wellness often requires commitment and significant effort. Through acknowledging our whole selves, not just the parts we think are amazing, but our blind spots, we become better equipped to connect with the other, which further opens up ways of our social, cultural and spiritual awareness.
So, in the context of schooling, how do we truly meet this moment? It is time to shift the emphasis, the investment from the seduction of just academic prowess and league tables achievement. It is time for learning communities to amplify the central position of Wellness by Design® as we support each young person to move from resilience to the power of resourcefulness of self-efficacy, personal aspiration, adaptive expertise, agency and advocacy.
We need to consider the role of personal goals, challenging assumptions, cognitive flexibility, courage over fear, emotional regulation and self-determination in supporting young people to flourish for their future. All fostered in a school ecosystem that values high (wellness) support as much as high (academic) expectations. A school that explicitly cultivates relationships that give each young person a profound sense of psychological safety, where they are known, valued and loved, through an authentic feeling that someone has their back and always in their corner. After all, we all need a champion.
It may seem counter-intuitive to put wellness at the centre and allow it to permeate throughout the whole of learning instead of confining it to a box of its own, and attending to it as an afterthought, but if we are not well, then how are we to thrive? How are we to make progress? How are we to succeed?
It’s time for us to create Wellness by Design®

Ever since I posted Facebook check in regarding our migration to New Zealand, I have been getting lots of queries about how did we apply for the immigration? what is the process? Is moving to New Zealand better than living in UAE? How it is different from Australian and Canadian Immigration? etc etc
Looking at the number of questions and interest I decided to write about our experience. But before digging more into the process and details I want to throw some disclaimers:
This is NOT the only way you can apply for NZ immigration
We started the process in 2015 and the policy is now updated a bit, I’ll try to highlight the points which are now changed (according to my information)
Every case is different! Things that worked out for us might not work for you
WHY NEW ZEALAND?
Let’s rewind our lives to 2015 and play…
We were exploring a couple of options like Canada and Australia (apart from where we are) to apply but the arrow landed at New Zealand in the map eventually.
The quota of Canada was full by the time we thought to submit our application (Common idea is that the job market has saturated over there). Confused between OZ and NZ, we chose NZ main reason being HI’s best friend was already there.
Please note that we were applying just to keep an option open apart from UAE (where we already were at that time). I longed to visit this beautiful country once but this definitely was not the reason to choose New Zealand over all other options.
At this point, you may want to check out Australia’s process as well because it has much bigger market as compared to NZ.
OUR CONDITIONS
We applied family visa under Skilled Migrant Category, HI being the primary applicant (Read about this type of visa here)
We did NOT hire any consultant
We also claimed MY points to guarantee selection of application
Find out whether your skills are needed in New Zealand not in the Skill Shortage List Checker or download the complete lists from the same link.
THE PROCESS
If your occupation is listed in the Skill Shortage List then:
Calculate your points using the Points Calculator at this link.
Apply for your PAR (Pre Assessment Result) Online from NZQA . Side by side, create your account at Immigration New Zealand website and start filling out your Expression of Interest (EOI).
Submit EOI online – Enter the code received as a result of successful PAR in EOI. There is a fee.
Wait for EOI to get selected.
Note: Minimum points requirement is 100 but in order to guarantee selection of your EOI you need a score of 160 (as per last policy change). P.S. The policy keeps on changing
On receipt of notification that it has been selected, wait for preliminary checking to be done. (Start collecting your documents at this time. See FAQs below for examples of documents)
Wait for ITA (Invitation To Apply).
If you get ITA;
Send your degrees to NZQA for full qualification assessment. You’ll need to send your original educational and work related experiences documents to NZQA.
Carry out the Medical process.
Submit formal application within 4 months of ITA (or the last date will be mentioned in the email you will receive). This includes providing all the necessary evidence to back up the points claimed on your EOI. Results of full IQA assessment of qualifications from NZQA, Police checks, Medicals, Proof of relationship etc etc. Pay the fee.
Wait for immigration to assign your application a case officer.
Wait for your application to be processed and answer any questions your case officer asks.
Wait for immigration interview appointment. Usually done after approval of IQA on phone and only if you don’t have a job offer.
Case Officer passes your application to another case officer for audit checking.
You will then receive formal notification of the outcome – the case officers decision. (Either you get a resident visa or job search visa. Keep in mind that your application may get rejected too)
If successful, send in your passports for the residency stickers. Pay the final Migrant levy fee.
On receipt of your passport returned with visas you have 12 months to activate by travelling to NZ. (the duration to make the last entry may be different in some cases)
Attaching ITA Documentation Checklist below (Note: this was customized checklist for our application, yours can be slightly different).
#gallery-0-4 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-4 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

TIME
The timeline I am able to deduce based on our experience is as follows:
PAR results from NZQA – within a week
EOI process – 1 to 3 months
ITA email is received – after a couple of weeks once the EOI is accepted
Time to submit ITA – usually 4 months
Time after ITA till final outcome – atleast 7 months
Time to make entry – 12 months to make first entry, after that your visa becomes valid for 2 more years (We visited NZ in December 2016 as a result of which Trip Of Lifetime series started on the blog, check out some beautiful places to visit in South New Zealand here)
This is NOT a definite/ constant time period rather the total time our end to end process took, yours may take a little more or may be less.
MONEY
I don’t remember how much fees we paid at each step but the whole end to end process may cost you around AED 12,000 – AED 15,000.
FAQs
Answering some of the common questions I am usually asked these days:
Is NZ Immigration better than others?
The reasons that led us to choose NZ are stated above, I have no idea about how it may or may not be different/ beneficial as compared to the other countries’ immigration. New Zealand is heaven on earth ❤ and apparently the 4th most safest country to live in 😀 (this might help you with the choice 🙂 )
How is moving to New Zealand better than living in UAE?
Well I like, no LOVE UAE. there are loads of advantages of living in UAE.
It is a Muslim state (Being a Muslim I’d say that this is one of the best part)
The food is amazing (everything is halal and available 24×7)
Closer to home (Pakistan)
Tax-free luxurious life
But apart from all the countless pluses, you never get citizenship hence the irony. You will have to leave your home as soon as you lose your job. Living in constant fear of leaving the place which you call your home is scary at times. Sometimes we have to take difficult decisions for better future 🙂
How is the weather there?
The climatic conditions of New Zealand are the opposite of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Typically December to February is summer; March to May is autumn; June to August is winter; and September to November is spring. Also, Wellington is super windy. So we are experiencing windy-rainy-cold days these days.
Did you hire a consultant?
No, HI himself is a consultant (not immigration one though) hence he was appalled at the thought of hiring one. Lol :p Also, the process is pretty easy and straight forward. And the internet is full of helpful articles which is our day-to-day FREE consultant by all means.
From where did you apply?
We applied from UAE
How did you get 160 points?
You can always check out INZ (website for NZ Immigration) for more insights and detailed understanding. The limit was 140 points at the time we applied. Scoring 160 points is very difficult unless you have a job offer from NZ but there is a likelihood that they will update and lax the policy pretty soon – a ray of hope :). I will update here, snap about it and will also share it on my Instagram stories as soon as I’ll come to know about it.
Since minimum points requirement is 100, should I apply even if my points score is below 160?
Surely the minimum points requirement is 100 but in order to guarantee selection of your EOI you need a score of 160 (as per last policy change). Any less selection is unlikely.
What documents should we collect to submit with ITA?
The supporting documents you will be required to submit with ITA may include:
English marriage certificates
Police clearance certificate (from every location you have lived so far – like in our case we had to collect these certificates from Karachi and UAE)
Spouses should have joint bank account (for verification that you are husband and wife and living together) – We did not have any so we had to prove our relationship through pictures, rental contracts etc etc
Some letters, Envelopes of mails on your address with your name (Aramex, DHL , Pakistan post any couriers)
From where should I get my medical done?
We went to Pakistan to carry out our medical process since it was very much cheaper as compared to UAE. The total cost of going to Pakistan and the entire medical process was less than it would have costed us in UAE. You can also consider going to Turkey for the cause 😉 (it is cheap there as well)
From where should the documents be attested?
Get your documents attested from HEC and MOFA (Ministry Of Foreign Affairs)
How does claiming spouse’s points works and how it is useful?
Spouse’s points can be claimed in order to get the desired score if primary applicant’s point are insufficient to get 160 (as per latest policy change), the spouse then will have to fulfill all the requirements as of the primary applicant. (IELTS score, NZQA assessment result etc etc)
Some Interview Tips please?
Do your homework about the country – they’d like you to have some information about it
Boast about your skill (the one which you are applying in)
Be confident
These were the FAQs I was bombarded with time and again. However, you can read about general kinda queries related to skilled migrant category here.
This was it from my side about our Immigration tales. Hope you all find it informative and easy. If you have queries about the article drop your questions in the comments section below, I will try to help within my reach and limit. And you can always visit INZ to explore more visa options 🙂
All the best to the ones who are thinking/trying to apply or already have applied.
See you soon here 🙂

Dubai, UAE: Flying taxis, driverless cars, robot professors - it seems the next generation may not find artificial intelligence (AI) as "new and exciting" as us. They will be growing up with it, possibly making AI the norm for them, just as we are now accustomed to the internet, mobile applications and Siri. However, are today's schools preparing the young ones for the hyper tech-savvy future that is approaching? The Fourth Industrial Revolution has been making headlines worldwide, with various artificial intelligence projects becoming a main focus for many countries. A step ahead, the UAE recently appointed the world's first Minister of Artificial Intelligence. In the blink of an eye, today's parents may see their children inside flying taxis, in driverless cars or studying in virtual classrooms. But are they being taught about the ins and outs of AI, a technology that will possibly be part of their everyday lives? A few Dubai teachers shared their thoughts on whether AI should be adopted as a core subject within school curriculums, which would allow educators to teach it just like other regular fields, such as Math, Science and History. The robotics manager at Gems Dubai American Academy, Sreejit Chakrabarty, believes teaching students AI at an early stage can help them in their literacy skills. He thinks it should be considered as a core subject. "We at Gems Dubai American Academy believe that AI education is not just about technical aspects, but the development of cognitive and collaborative processes wherein students can create a new type of literacy from a young age," Chakrabarty said. Elaborating, he said: "Naturally, this AI literacy brings in and helps students to extend their knowledge of English, maths and coding. For example, by seeing how their programming strategies are reflected in the learning and behaviour of a machine, they can better grasp abstract concepts such as cause and effect. They can also get immediate feedback from the machine and iterate their ideas based upon this. These are powerful opportunities for learning in a cross-disciplinary way." The school actually has coding as one of their core subjects. Their students are programming robots at a quicker pace and with more depth, thanks to programming languages. "To mention just a few of our robotics projects - we have high school students creating robotic representations of their poetry readings using multisensory inputs and outputs, middle school learners designing robotic solutions for the threat from genetic diseases, elementary students programming humanoid robots to tell interactive stories with alternative narrative paths, and primary learners doing rhythmic art using superhero robots," Chakrabarty said. Although one educator, the head of curriculum at the Kindergarten Starters Gauri Meghani believes, AI should not be taught as a stand-alone subject, but integrated with all other subjects simultaneously in order to follow a blended approach for children and machine interaction. Meghani said that students should remember that machines should not be considered a substitute for personal interaction. "Relying too much on these machines to grade or tutor may lead to educational oversights that hurt learners, more than helping them. It should not become an addiction to make our everyday tasks more efficient," she said. "Our students at Kindergarten Starters have picked up programming skills very quickly as we offer Robotics as a part of our regular curriculum. Our Grades 3, 4 and 5 have learnt to Program LEGO Education Wedo 1.0 and 2.0. They have used all the sensors, motion and display blocks to make their robot do different tasks. like sailing a boat, for example. These activities have instilled a deeper understanding of math and science concepts and evidence based reasoning."
Amy helps educators customise teaching
It may be a while before the students of today take a flying taxi to work, but they already have the necessary means to interact with an artificial intelligence (AI) application inside their classrooms. 'Amy' is an AI-based private tutor in math. The founder of Amy, Raphael Nolden, has brought the invention from New Zealand to Dubai in the hope that schools here would adapt her into their everyday learning. Nolden, the CEO of Jaipuna (the firm that invented Amy), told Khaleej Times that Amy also helps teachers be more effective in their classrooms. "She works just like a human tutor, but she is always there to help you even when you are learning at school. She helps students by giving them really specific feedback as they solve problems, and understands why they made mistakes so she can teach them exactly what they need to learn," Nolden said. "This means she can automatically fill student knowledge gaps before they even notice them, which means students don't get stuck and give up when they do math. She can also make classrooms much more effective by individualising every student's assignments so everyone learns exactly what they need to complete today's class. She allows each student in the class to work at their own pace, so good students move ahead and students struggling with a certain component do not fall behind." Amy will also give teachers realtime feedback about each student and the class in general, so teachers know which student exactly needs help. It automatically answers questions most students have, so they don't have to wait for the teacher. "She also allows teachers to individualise what each student learns. With traditional assignments, everyone in the class gets the same thing, but this means that the assignment is either too easy or too hard for most students. Amy's dynamic assignments allow teachers to simply specify what they want students to know at the end of the class or assignment, and she automatically creates one that teaches them exactly what they need to achieve this." Amy will also do all of the marking for teachers and take care of reporting requirements, which means that teachers have much more time to inspire their students and create better classes, Nolden noted. However, Nolden made it clear that AI should not take over the roles of traditional teachers. He believes AI and teachers working in a symbiotic relationship will give best results. Nolden has carried out testing with schools in New Zealand in 2017 and will be rolling out a full version of the product from the start of 2018. Now, he hopes to find schools that would be interested in doing pilots with Amy.
Re-skill the children as today's jobs won't be available by 2030
Bhawna Sajnani, chief digital and innovation officer, The Kindergarten Starters As the education industry booms, the quality of instruction is becoming more progressive and challenging. We aim to prepare our children for the 21st century, where they will enter a job market that rewards creativity, flexible thinking, on-the-job learning and ease with technology. They will be living an expanded civic life where citizens are active in physical communities, online and through social media, getting involved in local politics as well as global initiatives. Education today has changed and progressed from how we learnt in our conventional setups. This is appropriate for the jobs that are available today. But will the same jobs be available for our children in 2030? Definitely not! I think the exciting new efforts to make computers think and working with 'machines with minds' will not only personalise learning but also allow them to customise the curriculum based on the child's readiness. As a teacher, personalising instruction is a challenge and I think with AI, we will be able to reach out to all children. AI's intelligent tutoring system, adaptive group formations, facilitation by examples, intelligent moderations, essay grading software, real problem-solving assessment and game-based learning environments are some of the features that every teacher dreams about when she takes a class. I dream about this because I want to reach out to every child and want each one to succeed. Business owners today are actively deciding whether their next hire should be a person or a machine. After all, machines can work in the dark and don't require time off for holidays, personal illness, overtime, chronic stress or anxiety. By overhauling our entire education system and providing means for people to re-skill, it is important that we start to act now. In addition to this, we also need to accept that learning doesn't end with formal schooling. The accelerating pace of technological change means that learning must be a lifelong pursuit, constantly re-skilling to meet an ever-changing world. Making huge changes to our education system, providing means for people to re-skill, and encouraging lifelong learning can help mitigate the pain of the transition. It's unlikely that the future will play out like the past. There's no guarantee that more jobs will be created than are destroyed by AI and automation. Even if the future does play out like the past, the jobs being created will require re-skilling and better education. These services aren't currently provided, so unless we make major changes, we'll have millions of people who can't get jobs and we'll all suffer from it. Even if we manage to deal with this transition effectively, most jobs will eventually be eliminated by machines. Hence, I feel that teaching them AI from an early age will benefit them in the future.
How important is teaching artificial intelligence?
Trisha Sayani,Gems Our Own English High School, Dubai Teaching AI is very important because it's our future. Everybody needs to know how it works; its advantages and disadvantages, etc. One main source of artificial intelligence is STEAM and currently the whole world is moving towards it. This is the reason why I think teaching AI is very important. Krista Fidelia, Al Diyafah High School In this technologically advancing world filled with tech savvy students like us, I believe it is crucial to be taught the basics of AI. As we go further each year, almost every career's fundamental base will be AI. If taught in school, students can step out into the world as confident individuals with the ability to set up a strong career. Nada Fathima, New Indian Model School, Dubai AI not only reduces human effort, but also helps us to understand things in a better way. Our world, as we know, is running on AI. Facebook suggests our friends, computers trade our stock and now we have cars that park themselves. Soon we will have robots teaching students in school. It helps the teacher focus on the children's needs. Today, teaching AI is as important as teaching Math. Nakshatra RP, New Indian Model School, Dubai Studying AI opens a world of opportunities. At a basic level, you will understand the system and tools you interact with on a daily basis. It can prepare you for a job as a software engineer, creating AI software programmes or even a hardware engineer developing electronic parking assistants or home assistant robots. © Khaleej Times

Prepare them for the future There's merit in getting our children acquainted with new age technology and giving them hands on experience in classrooms on how to invent, manage, and utilise scientifically evolved products. AI, flying taxis, autonomous vehicles, and its likes arguably are the future. The sooner children learn, the better it will be. While the jury is still out on when is the right time to introduce such technology to the classrooms, there is a clear consensus that children do need to be in the loop. © Khaleej Times via Edarabia.com

Queenstown as it’s name implies is one queenly amazingly heavenly city in the Otago region of South Island of New Zealand. The city sits comfortably in the valley of alpine mountains beside breathtaking lakes. In this post, you are going to witness one of those among many other adventurous activities you can taste in that happening city. So keep reading 😉
After having an incredibly dramatic day at Milford Sound (you can read about it here) we woke up a little late (for Kiwis but quite early for UAE/ desi people though… lol) and we had no idea what to do with our day in this spectacular and chilly city. While I was getting ready HI took some suggestions from receptionist at the ‘Queenstown Holiday Park & Motels Creeksyde‘ (that is where we were staying) and we decided to check out Skyline Queenstown which was some blocks away from our accommodation so we ditched the car and walked up there.
Lake Wakatipu ❤
Our motel area – these ducks were having a very bad time while E was running behind them… lol
A loooong vertical way up there
This is how you bring your bicycles to Bob’s peak
These sheep can stand on the steep hill like a boss
check out the view
Loved the serenity of scene
Skyline Queenstown is a scenic Gondola ride all the way up to Bob’s peak from where you can enjoy a bird’s eye view of stunning Lake Wakatipu. Apart from that it offers a multitude of activities for adrenaline junkies from Bungee jumping to Mountain Biking, Zip Lining to Paragliding. And if you are not up for any of these than you can just grab a coffee/drink and stroll through the mountain on dedicated walking tracks taking sneak peeks of the activities going around. I was so up for everything I just stated but we were not able to do any of those since E was with us. HI was pushing me to go for zip lining alone, an offer which I rejected without negotiating because I usually enjoy and prefer doing things with him (such loyal wifey I am… *insert smiley face with halo emoji here* lol).

The view ❤
After doing fruitless research on above mentioned activities the place that caught my attention was this Market Kitchen Cafe, one thing we can definitely do with E – EAT. The constant mouthwatering aromas that emanated from their kitchen incited my hunger to next level. We entered and inquired about Halal food and to our pleasant surprise they do serve halal food. I was ecstatic upon the revelation; we ordered a chicken pizza, grabbed a table near the balcony and enjoyed the meal with stupendous view.
Chilly up there
Kids play area
That yummy pizza and that stunning scene! killer combo
While we were busy relishing our delectable meal we noticed people going further up by a chairlift, which we found out was a part of Luge. An activity which we could do with E, WOW! We bought the tickets right away and got ready to ride the Luge. By the way Luge is a thrilling gravity controlled ride in a special cart with proper steering and braking system. We raced down the track and thoroughly enjoyed the course, this was something different and we were able to do that with E – best part! It is undoubtedly one of the ‘must-do’ activities up there.
That’s luge!
You go up by these chair lifts
witness this amazig view from there
and this
and this too ❤
The Luge track
Loving the clear blue sky above us
say mashaa Allah 🙂
The Lugers 😛
After spending some quality time at the mountain, we caught the gondola and came back to ground. We still had plenty of time till sun down so we moved towards city centre with the intentions to explore the city and ultimately landed at bank of lake Wakatipu in the end.
We roamed through the streets of Queenstown, stopped by a local 12D (4D is a much better word for that though… lol) movie theater Thrill Zone Vortex in between where we watched 2 cartoon movies. E absolutely loved the experience, I was anticipating that she might get scared but she actually moved my hand away when I attempted to comfort her in between the movies. She was proving to be one brave adventurous little girl in this trip 😀
As I see it from pier.. thats a statue of a Kiwi
Another angle
The lake in view
Thats the statue of NZ Moa. They are thought to have become extinct some 200 years ago before which they were the largest living animal in NZ and the tallest bird in the world.
Father Daughter time!
A cruise ready to sail
Afterwards we spent some time at the pier of lake where E tried to catch sea gulls. The weather was getting colder as sunset time was approaching so we thought to retire for the day. Had dinner at the same place we ate the day before and walked back to our cute studio apartment, packed our bags because we were flying to Sydney the next day and went into deep slumber in no time.
See awe-inspiring landscapes from the airplane window as we bid good bye to the beautiful city of Queenstown, NZ the other day and read about our stories of Sydney in the upcoming post of Trip of Lifetime series. Stick around folks!
Quixotic Queenstown – Trip of Lifetime Day 16 Queenstown as it's name implies is one queenly amazingly heavenly city in the Otago region of South Island of New Zealand.
