#national council on teacher quality

[actual-nobody]

1. Minor error to point out, but I think you mean the second link (Reading Rocket) being the old one

2. While I can only assume that you made this statement on my specific reblog because I was one of the more recent ones, I did not say that the article was only bad because it was old. I also said it was because the pie chart seemingly contradicts a statement. The article says that only 4 textbooks in educator schools were acceptable for general reading courses. However, the pie chart says that 51 of them (23% of the sample) are acceptable.

Additionally, the article appears to not even be the original study, so any claims it makes have to be taken with some salt. However. I will admit that I was wrong about the article not crediting the original study, since I completely missed the contact information for the National Council on Teacher Quality, who made the original study (I also completely missed the date stated, May 2006).

3. The age of a study is still relevant, however, since information referenced in a study can change with time. While I didn’t specifically bring attention to it, the following article:

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/education/why-more-u-s-schools-are-embracing-a-new-science-of-reading

states that more schools are focusing on the science of reading, the superior form of teaching reading skills, due to demands from parents to try and get their children up to speed after the pandemic. While it isn’t an academic study, I can only presume that it’s a more accurate reflection of the problem today since it came out this year. I won’t say that you deliberately ignored an improvement in the situation, since the original post came out before the news article was published, but it still reflects progress.

Another thing that changed between then and now is that more than 50% of educator schools studied use the science of reading in their curriculums, as stated in this 2020 assesment by the National Council on Teacher Quality, the same group cited by the Reading Rocket article (the link leads to a summary page and link to download the assesment results).

https://www.nctq.org/publications/2020-Teacher-Prep-Review:-Program-Performance-in-Early-Reading-Instruction

It also states that there have been efforts to improve since the first assesments were published in 2013. This is progress towards fixing the problem your post talks about, even if it’d take a while for the effects to be felt, and even if the progress is stated, by the assesment itself, to be too slow for what’s at stake.

The age of an article doesn’t mean that the article itself is inferior, but that the information it presents is more likely to be inaccurate in the present.

If your purpose was to illustrate only the length of time that reading illiteracy has been an issue, I think it would’ve helped if you included an article that specifically talked about that subject, or had specifically brought attention to the date that the article you linked to was published. (Besides, you should’ve realized that we would need some help with reading, since you brought it up).

For anyone else reading whose in the US who cares about this, the most you can do is become a teacher yourself and/or to write to the members of your state’s legislature (part of the state government, not the federal government that gets all of the attention) and/or vote for the ones you can vote for who have a proven track record for making favorable policies. To find out which people represent you at the state level, search for “(your state here) legislature members” in a search engine, or use something like “who’s my representative (your state here)” instead, then look for a website that looks something like (your state here).gov

Quick question, genuine question:

Why on earth does "more than half of US adults under 30 cannot read above an elementary school level" not strike horror into the heart of everyone who hears it?

Are the implications of it unclear????

I'm serious, people keep reacting with a sort of vague dismissal when I point this out, and I want to know why!

If adults in the US cannot read, then the only information they have access to is TV and video, the spaces with the most egregious and horrific misinformation!

If they cannot read, they cannot escape that misinformation.

This obscene lack of literacy should strike fear into every heart! US TV is notoriously horrific propaganda!

Is that???? Not??? Obvious???????

I know this sounds sarcastic, I know it does, but I'm completely serious here. I do not understand where the disconnect is.

so you've talked a bit about Voltron and Last Airbender on this blog, and I was wondering about what both the galra populace in general and Lotor specifically would think of Zuko's refusal to fight his father. would it be viewed as noble or as disrespect/cowardice?

Zuko's conduct would be considered noble, but Ozai's was disgraceful.

Zuko: "If I'm going to lead this nation one day, don't you think I need to start learning as much as I can?"

One of the very first things we see of the events leading up to the Agni Kai, is Zuko's reasoning for even being present in that war council in the first place: he is determined to learn from his father and those whose council the Fire Lord keeps, so that he himself may be properly prepared to wear the Fire Nation crown when that burden ultimately falls to him. This is not only noble, but dutiful too, and shows an incredible level of self-awareness & responsibility given that Zuko was only t h i r t e e n at the time.

When one of Ozai's Generals explains his plan to sacrifice a division of entirely new recruits to an Earth Kingdom battalion, intending to use them as a diversion with the self-confessed expectation that they will all fail and die, Zuko's response is one of outrage—

Zuko: "You can't sacrifice an entire division like that! Those soldiers love and defend our nation! How can you betray them?"

—and this is exceedingly telling of his moral character. Where all the veterans in that room take this to be an acceptable loss (and the General who suggested it in fact seeming quite perversely pleased with the idea), Zuko views these untested greenhorns not as pieces on a board, but people; his father's people, one day his people, and though everyone in that room sees great value in them and their loyalty to the Fire Nation, Zuko alone thinks not of how to exploit this but rather how to be worthy of their devotion rather than see it misplaced.

So from a galra perspective, Zuko has many of the qualities that I previously expressed would win Keith favour:

straightforward without a taste (let alone the aptitude) for mind-games

stands with absolute conviction and is willing to fight for what he believes in

kind, considerate, and loyal

Iroh: "The Fire Lord became very angry with him. He said that Prince Zuko's challenge of the General was an act of complete disrespect, and there was only one way to resolve this. [Agni Kai, a fire duel.] Zuko looked upon the old general he had insulted and declared that he was not afraid, but Zuko misunderstood. When he turned to face his opponent, he was surprised to see it was not the General. Zuko had spoken out against the General's plan, but by doing so in the Fire Lord's war room, it was the Fire Lord whom he had disrespected."

Now this is actually crucial to understanding Zuko's character and sense of loyalty, because he never intended to disrespect his father, and frankly I don't think he had any idea that Ozai had even taken offence until he was stood across from from at the Agni Kai.

Zuko: "Please, Father! I only had the Fire Nation's best interest at heart! I'm sorry I spoke out of turn!" Ozai: "You will fight for your honour." Zuko, falling to his knees, head bowed: "I meant you no disrespect! I am your loyal son." Ozai: "Rise and fight, Prince Zuko." Zuko: "I won't fight you." Ozai: "You will learn respect, and suffering will be your teacher."

By the end of this exchange, Zuko is on his knees, tears literally streaming down his face, and trembling like a leaf. He is terrified, and yet, despite that, we are explicitly told that Zuko outright refused to fight his father—nor did he resist in any other manner, or so we can assume by the placement of his burn scar being the entire front half of his face, rather than on his arm had he shielded himself, or on his back had he run—and thus Ozai further condemns him, claiming that Zuko's refusal to fight him had been a display of "shameful weakness."

This would be significant to the Galra threefold.

For one, and I cannot stress this enough, Zuko was a child. As I've reiterated a thousand times children are precious to the galra, immeasurably so, and therefore to raise a single hand to a child is grave offence, but to not only burn them so severely that it scars, but make a public show of it?? That kind of cruelty is an outrage. If Zuko was wrong, he deserved to be corrected and educated (something he himself actively sought hence his attending the meeting in the first place!), not mutilated.

For another, there's the scar itself. Horrific as the circumstances surrounding its acquisition were, from a galra perspective Zuko's handling of the situation was befitting of the greatest of warriors. Imperial attitude towards scars are such that they are generally considered badges of honour: something to be revered and even reveled in. A scar is the mark of a battle survived, and in fact, the only instance in which a scar might be treated with disdain is if it were on one’s back, as this might imply either foolishness for having turned away from your enemy, or, worse yet, cowardice due to the bearer having tried to flee rather than fight. Zuko, however, despite his youth, despite his fear, despite not deserving it in the slightest,,, faced his father head on and accepted Imperial judgment. There are fully-fledged warriors ten times his age that would struggle to do the same, and that alone is worthy of the highest commendation.

While the galra would consider the Agni Kai itself a perfectly acceptable method of resolving an otherwise unsolvable dispute, the bare minimum one would expect would be each participant knowing who the other was and on exactly what grounds the challenge was set. So finally, even if Zuko were an adult who spoke out against a plan that his Emperor endorsed, he did so without knowing that his Emperor endorsed it: Ozai at no point made this clear, we know from context that this was Zuko's first time in the war room (so he had no prior frame of reference for what was / wasn't appropriate), and upon learning that his father had taken offence he immediately //throws himself at his feet in sincere apology and pleads for mercy//... there were several steps that should have been taken before resorting to rite of combat, and Ozai disregarded each and every one in favour of making a malicious point. It wasn't behaviour befitting of any galra in a position of power, but least of all the Emperor.

Ultimately, the galra consider it the Emperor's duty (or, in this case, the Fire Lord's) to serve and protect the Empire and all its citizens; yes, sometimes this is going to come at a steep cost, and yes, sometimes the good of the many may indeed come at the cost of the few, but irrespective of whether Zuko's opinion at the war council was right or wrong, Ozai's reaction was entirely disproportionate. For all the galra are a people with a strong sense of loyalty to their Emperor/Empress, this is something that’s supposed to go both ways, so they will remain loyal to their Monarch only for so long as said Monarch is loyal to their people in return, and absolutely nothing about Ozai's conduct surrounding the Agni Kai indicated that this was the case.

Tldr; Ozai's a POS, thanks for coming to my ted talk.

By Geoff Hanmer

Later this week the government will receive the report of the year-long independent inquiry into its handling of the COVID pandemic.

Among the issues it will have to contend with is air quality, in particular the air quality in high occupancy public buildings such as schools, aged-care facilities, shops, pubs and clubs.

Many already have high quality air. High-fitration air conditioning (so-called mechanical ventilation) is standard in offices, hospitals and shopping centres.

But not in schools. Almost all of our schools (98% in NSW) use windows.

In Australia’s national construction code, this is called “natural ventilation” and it is allowed so long as the window, opening or door has a ventilating area of not less than 5% of the floor area, a requirement research suggests is insufficient.

Windows, but no requirement to keep them open There’s no requirement to actually open the windows. School windows are often shut to keep in the heat in (or to keep out the heat in summer).

The result can be very, very stuffy classrooms, far stuffier than we would tolerate in shopping centres. This matters for learning. Study after study has found that when air circulation gets low, people can’t concentrate well or learn well.

And they get sick. Diseases such as flu, COVID and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) spread when viruses get recirculated instead of diluted with fresh air.

The costs of the resulting sickness are borne by students, parents, teachers and education systems that need to find replacement staff to cover for teachers who are sick and parents who need to look after sick children at home.

A pilot study prepared for the Australian Research Council Centre for Advanced Building Systems Against Airborne Infection (known as “Thrive”), suggests the entire cost of installing high-filtration air conditioning in every Australian school would be offset by the savings in reduced sickness.

What Classroom Air is Like The study carried out by the education architecture firm ARINA compared the ventilation of 60 so-called naturally ventilated schools in southern NSW and the Australian Capital Territory to that of a school in Sydney that happened to have been fitted with a Standards Australia-compliant air conditioning system to control aircraft noise.

It used carbon dioxide levels to measure ventilation. Carbon dioxide is a good proxy for ventilation because its levels are determined by both the number of people breathing out concentrated carbon dioxide and the clean air available to dilute it.

Under a normal load, defined as 26 students, one teacher and one assistant, measured levels of carbon dioxide in the air-conditioned school stayed below 750 parts per million (ppm) and were typically between 500 and 600 ppm.

A reading of 700 ppm is particularly good. It means the people in the room breathe in less than 0.5% of air breathed out by others.

But in “naturally ventilated” classrooms the reading often climbed to 2,500 ppm and sometimes more, within an hour of a class commencing.

At 2,500 parts per million, people in the room are breathing in 5.5% of the air breathed out by others. This is also high enough to affect cognition, learning and behaviour, something that begins when carbon dioxide climbs above 1,200 ppm.

Research suggests using ventilation to cut carbon dioxide to 700 ppm can cut the risk of airborne transmission of disease by a factor of two and up to five.

The economic case for healthy air In 2023, Australia had 9,629 schools with 4,086,998 students.

ARINA has previously estimated the cost of ensuring all of these schools are mechanically ventilated at A$2 billion per year over five years.

Offsetting that cost would be less sickness. Documents released under freedom of information laws show Victoria spent $360.8 million on casual relief teachers between May 2023 and May 2024, 54% more than before COVID in 2019.

The figures for other states are harder to get, but if Victoria (with 26% of Australia’s population) is spending $234 million more per year on casual relief teachers than before COVID, it is likely that Australia is spending $900 million per year more.

Add in the teachers in non-government schools (37% of Australia’s total) and the potential saving from air conditioning schools exceeds $1 billion per year.

Add in the other non-COVID viruses that would no longer be concentrated and circulated in classrooms and the potential savings grow higher still.

Worth more than $1 billion per year And, in any event, the cost of replacement teachers is a woefully incomplete measure of the cost of illness in schools. Many ill teachers can’t be replaced because replacements aren’t available, making schools cancel lessons and combine classes, costing days, weeks and sometimes months of lost education.

Also, the bacteria and viruses spread by recirculated air infect students as well as teachers, keeping students (and often their parents) at home as well.

This suggests the costs per year of not air conditioning schools exceed $1 billion and may well approach or exceed $2 billion, which is the estimated cost per year over five years of air conditioning every Australian school.

Natural ventilation was never a good idea for classrooms: it was cheap at the time, but not cheap at all when the costs are considered. Those costs happen to extend beyond disease to thermal comfort, energy use and the ability of students to concentrate.

It’s time we gave students and teachers the kind of protections we demand for ourselves in our offices, our shopping centres and often our homes. It would soon pay for itself.

How the India School Pledge Aligns with India’s National Values

The India School Pledge, recited every morning by millions of students, is more than just words. It is a commitment to India’s core values. This daily promise reminds students of values like respect, unity, and responsibility—important principles that guide Indian society. At School Dekho, we believe it’s essential for young minds to understand the meaning behind these words. This article explores how the Indian School Pledge reflects India’s national values, shaping students into responsible citizens.

Indian Pledge in English Indian Pledge in Hindi

1. Promoting Respect for Our Country and Fellow Citizens

The India School Pledge starts with the phrase, “India is my country, and all Indians are my brothers and sisters.” This powerful statement promotes respect for the nation and its people. Respect is one of the most important values in Indian society. We learn to honor our elders, listen to our teachers, and care for others in our community.

When students recite this pledge, they’re reminded that every Indian is part of one large family. This helps children understand that respect is not just about people close to us, but extends to everyone. The Ministry of Education in India highlights that teaching respect early in life leads to positive relationships in adulthood, promoting a stronger society.

2. Fostering Unity and Brotherhood

Unity is a core Indian value, reflected in our motto, “Unity in Diversity.” India has many languages, religions, and cultures, yet we stand together as one nation. The pledge encourages students to think of all Indians as their family. This idea of unity is especially important in a diverse country like India, where people celebrate different festivals and traditions.

By saying the pledge, students learn that even though people are different, we can work together. This value of unity encourages students to build friendships across cultural lines, making school a more inclusive place. According to UNESCO, promoting unity in young minds helps create a more peaceful society in the future.

3. Encouraging Responsibility Towards Society

The pledge includes the line, “I love my country, and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage.” This phrase teaches students to feel proud of India’s history and culture, while also reminding them of their responsibility to protect it. Responsibility is a value that helps individuals care for their community and work toward its betterment.

At School Dekho, we emphasize that taking responsibility starts with small actions. For example, students can show responsibility by keeping their school clean, helping their friends, and participating in community activities. Studies by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) show that when children learn responsibility early, they grow into adults who contribute positively to society.

4. Embracing Hard Work and Dedication

The pledge encourages students to “give respect to my parents, teachers, and all elders, and treat everyone with courtesy.” Respect for authority figures like parents and teachers is an essential value in India, where people often look up to elders for guidance. This line of the pledge reminds students to appreciate the hard work and dedication of others.

By valuing hard work, students learn to work hard in their own lives. Whether it’s studying, helping with chores, or practicing a skill, dedication is a quality that helps us succeed. According to a report by the National Education Association, students who are encouraged to work hard often perform better academically and develop a strong sense of purpose.

5. Instilling a Sense of Patriotism

Patriotism is a love for one’s country and a desire to make it better. The India School Pledge nurtures patriotism by helping students appreciate India’s heritage, culture, and achievements. When students say, “I love my country,” they express pride in India’s diversity, achievements, and beauty.

Patriotism also motivates students to do their best for the country. At School Dekho, we encourage students to understand that patriotism is not just about words, but also actions. By studying hard, following rules, and being good citizens, students contribute to a stronger India.

6. Teaching Honesty and Integrity

The India School Pledge teaches students the importance of honesty and integrity. When students promise to “do my duty to my country and my people,” they learn that honesty is essential in fulfilling their responsibilities. Integrity means doing the right thing, even when no one is watching, which is a key value in Indian culture.

By practicing honesty, students learn to build trust and respect with others. Schools often promote honesty by encouraging students to complete their own work, respect classroom rules, and be fair to everyone. Studies by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) indicate that honesty leads to better decision-making and stronger friendships.

7. Developing Compassion and Empathy

The phrase “all Indians are my brothers and sisters” also promotes compassion and empathy. Compassion is the ability to care about others and their feelings. When students think of everyone as family, they’re more likely to help and support each other.

Empathy is especially important in building a harmonious society. By understanding others’ feelings, students become better friends, classmates, and citizens. According to the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, children who develop empathy are better at resolving conflicts and building meaningful relationships.

8. Encouraging Environmental Responsibility

While the India School Pledge may not directly mention the environment, the values it teaches can also apply to nature. Loving and respecting India includes caring for the country’s beautiful landscapes, rivers, and forests. When students learn to take responsibility for their surroundings, they develop a sense of environmental responsibility.

Students can practice environmental responsibility by conserving water, reducing waste, and protecting green spaces. At School Dekho, we encourage schools to include eco-friendly practices in morning assemblies, helping students understand that protecting the environment is part of their duty to India.

9. Promoting Peace and Non-Violence

India has a rich history of peace and non-violence, inspired by leaders like Mahatma Gandhi. The India School Pledge, which promotes unity and respect, aligns with these values. By encouraging students to respect others and embrace diversity, the pledge fosters a peaceful outlook.

Peaceful interactions in school set the foundation for a peaceful society. When students learn to resolve conflicts calmly and support one another, they contribute to a safe environment. Studies by UNICEF show that promoting peace and non-violence in schools leads to positive student behavior and a better learning atmosphere.

10. Building a Stronger Society for the Future

The India School Pledge is more than a routine. It is a guide for students to become better individuals and responsible citizens. Each line of the pledge promotes values that shape a stronger society—one that is united, respectful, and responsible.

At School Dekho, we believe that students who embrace these values can make a significant impact on the world. As they grow, they take these principles into their communities, helping create a brighter future for India. By understanding the importance of the pledge, students gain a sense of purpose, pride, and determination to make their country a better place.

Conclusion: The India School Pledge as a Path to National Values

The India School Pledge is more than words repeated in assembly. It serves as a powerful reminder of the values that unite us as Indians. From respect and unity to responsibility and patriotism, these values guide students in becoming thoughtful, responsible citizens.

At School Dekho, we encourage students, teachers, and parents to understand and cherish the India School Pledge. By practicing these values daily, students can grow into compassionate, responsible individuals who contribute positively to society. The pledge helps instill the values that make India strong and united, ensuring a brighter, better future for all.

NECTA FTNA Results: Understanding Tanzania's Form Two National Assessment

The National Examinations Council of Tanzania (NECTA) plays a pivotal role in shaping the country’s education system, particularly through the administration of the Form Two National Assessment (FTNA). This exam is a significant milestone for students in Tanzania as it evaluates their academic progress at the end of their second year in secondary school. NECTA FTNA results are eagerly anticipated by students, parents, and educators alike because they provide insights into students’ academic performance and influence their future educational direction.

What is NECTA?

NECTA, established by parliamentary act in 1973, is responsible for the administration, monitoring, and evaluation of national examinations in Tanzania. NECTA oversees several key assessments, including the FTNA, Standard Seven Examinations, and the Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (CSEE), which marks the completion of secondary school.

The Form Two National Assessment is designed to test the knowledge and skills students have acquired over their first two years in secondary school. This comprehensive exam covers a range of subjects, including Mathematics, Science, English, Kiswahili, History, and Geography. The FTNA results give educators and policymakers a snapshot of how students are progressing in the early stages of secondary education.

Importance of NECTA FTNA Results

The NECTA FTNA results are crucial for several reasons. First and foremost, they provide a benchmark for students’ academic performance, allowing schools and teachers to assess whether students have grasped key concepts in their coursework. Schools often use these results to identify areas where students may need additional support or intervention.

Secondly, the results determine a student’s progression to higher grades. Poor performance in the FTNA can lead to recommendations for remedial work, or in some cases, students may be required to repeat the year. This ensures that students have a solid academic foundation before moving on to more advanced levels of secondary education.

Factors Affecting FTNA Performance

Several factors can influence a student’s performance in the NECTA FTNA. Some of these include:

Quality of Teaching: Teachers play an essential role in preparing students for the FTNA. Schools with well-trained and experienced teachers tend to see higher pass rates. Quality instruction, along with effective teaching materials, ensures students are adequately prepared for the assessment.

School Infrastructure: Schools with proper infrastructure, including classrooms, libraries, and laboratories, provide students with the tools they need to excel. Students who have access to adequate learning environments are generally better equipped to perform well on the FTNA.

Student Motivation: A student’s commitment to their studies significantly affects their performance. Students who are motivated to learn, attend classes regularly, and engage with their studies tend to do well in the FTNA.

Parental Support: The role of parents in supporting their children’s education cannot be underestimated. Parental encouragement and involvement in their child’s academic life help students stay focused and work harder toward their goals.

How to Check NECTA FTNA Results

Checking NECTA FTNA results is straightforward. NECTA publishes the results online through its official website (www.necta.go.tz). Students can access their results by entering their examination number. Schools also receive hard copies of the results, which are displayed on noticeboards for students and parents to review.

Preparing for FTNA Success

Students preparing for the FTNA should focus on a few key strategies:

Study Consistently: Avoid last-minute cramming by reviewing subjects throughout the academic year. Consistent study habits lead to better retention of information.

Practice Past Papers: Familiarizing yourself with the format and types of questions in past FTNA exams can significantly improve performance. NECTA PSLE Results makes past papers available for practice.

Seek Help When Needed: Don’t hesitate to ask teachers for help in areas where you are struggling. Addressing challenges early can make a significant difference in your overall performance.

Introduction

In an increasingly diverse society, the need for educational institutions that reflect the cultural and religious values of different communities has never been more vital. Manchester Muslim Prep School (MMPS) is one such institution, offering a high-quality education that combines academic excellence with a strong foundation in Islamic teachings. For Muslim girls, MMPS provides a nurturing environment where they can develop their intellectual abilities, spiritual growth, and personal confidence, all within the framework of their faith.

This blog takes a closer look at the key aspects of Manchester Muslim Prep School for girls, highlighting its unique curriculum, Islamic ethos, extracurricular activities, and how it prepares young Muslim women to thrive in both their religious and secular lives.

1. A Brief History of Manchester Muslim Prep School

Manchester Muslim Prep School was founded to cater to the growing Muslim community in Manchester, offering a balanced education that integrates Islamic studies with the national curriculum. The school has established itself as a reputable institution committed to nurturing young girls and boys alike in their spiritual and academic journeys.

For girls, MMPS creates an environment that promotes modesty, self-respect, and a strong sense of identity. Over the years, it has grown into a well-recognized institution, appreciated for its commitment to producing well-rounded individuals who excel in both academic and personal spheres.

2. The Curriculum: A Blend of Academics and Islamic Studies

At the heart of Manchester Muslim Prep School is a dual curriculum that gives equal importance to academic rigor and Islamic education. The school follows the National Curriculum of England, ensuring that students receive a solid grounding in subjects such as mathematics, science, English, and social studies. Alongside this, students are also taught Islamic studies, including Qur’anic studies, Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), Aqeedah (Islamic belief), and the Arabic language.

For girls, this dual curriculum plays a critical role in balancing their secular education with their spiritual development. By learning Islamic teachings alongside traditional subjects, they gain a comprehensive understanding of both worlds, preparing them to navigate life's challenges with a well-rounded perspective.

3. Fostering Islamic Values in a Modern Context

MMPS places great emphasis on nurturing Islamic values such as modesty, compassion, and respect for others. These values are not only taught in Islamic studies classes but are also woven into the daily life of the school. From the way students interact with their peers and teachers to the manner in which they approach their studies, Islamic principles are at the core of the MMPS experience.

For girls, the school is particularly focused on promoting self-confidence and modesty in a modern context. Through discussions on Islamic values and personal development, girls learn how to carry themselves with dignity, embracing both their faith and modern societal expectations.

4. Encouraging Personal Growth and Leadership

One of the standout features of Manchester Muslim Prep School for girls is its commitment to developing leadership skills and personal growth. Girls are encouraged to take on leadership roles within the school, whether through participation in student councils, leading class activities, or organizing school events. This involvement builds their confidence and teaches them the importance of teamwork, responsibility, and initiative.

Additionally, the school offers workshops and seminars on topics such as personal development, time management, and public speaking. These programs help girls build the skills they need to excel not only in school but in all aspects of their lives.

5. Extracurricular Activities and Sports for Girls

Extracurricular activities are an essential part of the MMPS experience, providing girls with opportunities to explore their interests and talents outside the classroom. The school offers a variety of clubs and activities, including art, drama, science, and debate clubs. These activities allow girls to express their creativity and develop their critical thinking skills in a supportive environment.

Sports also play a key role at MMPS, with girls encouraged to participate in a range of physical activities. The school recognizes the importance of physical fitness and well-being, offering sports such as swimming, netball, and athletics, all conducted in a setting that respects Islamic guidelines on modesty.

6. Building a Strong Sense of Community

One of the cornerstones of MMPS is its sense of community. The school fosters a close-knit environment where students, teachers, and parents work together to support each child's growth. For girls, this sense of community is particularly empowering. Being part of a school where their values are shared and respected helps them feel confident in their identity as young Muslim women.

The school also organizes community service projects and charity events, encouraging girls to give back to their community and develop a sense of social responsibility. These experiences help instill a lifelong commitment to service and charity, reflecting the Islamic values of generosity and empathy.

7. Supporting Emotional and Spiritual Well-being

In addition to academic and extracurricular support, MMPS places a strong emphasis on the emotional and spiritual well-being of its students. For girls, this means creating a safe space where they can express their thoughts and feelings, seek guidance, and develop their spirituality.

The school offers regular assemblies and prayer sessions, where girls can come together to practice their faith and reflect on their spiritual journey. Teachers and mentors are available to provide guidance and support, ensuring that each student feels valued and heard. This holistic approach to education helps girls build resilience, confidence, and a deep connection to their faith.

8. Preparing for the Future: A Focus on Higher Education and Beyond

As students prepare to transition to secondary school and beyond, MMPS ensures that they are well-equipped for future academic and personal success. The school places a strong emphasis on preparing girls for higher education, providing guidance on selecting secondary schools and preparing for entrance exams.

Additionally, MMPS encourages girls to set high aspirations for themselves, whether in pursuing careers in STEM, the arts, or other fields. By instilling a sense of ambition and a strong work ethic, the school ensures that its graduates are ready to contribute meaningfully to society while staying true to their Islamic values.
