Teachers: The Architects of Education System
Nostalgic Schooldays: Do we all have nostalgic memories of our school days?
The old school day memories accompany us throughout our life journey. Memories of moments with our classmates and teachers frequently resurface in our minds. A teacher who puts in their utmost effort and offers sincere help becomes a lifelong mentor for their students. The impact of such a teacher is forever on the student. Almost all students have their favorite teacher according to our own personal choices.
Teachers Day is a very special day from both the teacher’s and student’s point of view. The students present personal gifts to their teachers, decorated with beautiful quotes wishing them a happy day. Teachers are excited that their students will treat them specially and students are also excited to present them gifts making their day memorable. The bond between the students and teachers made the learning part effective and memorable.
Teacher-Student Bond
Teachers are the secondary socializing agents. They shape children’s future. At times, the importance of teachers exceeds that of parents, as they ignite the students towards knowledge continuously. Teachers offer an external authority figure, providing a unique perspective that complements parental guidance.
William Butler Yeast famous quote sums it up: “Education is not the filling of a pail but the lightening of a fire.” It is the teacher who kindles the light of knowledge. He aspires every student towards knowledge and wants students to reach a higher level of perfection. Despite being a stranger to their students, he selflessly guides his pupils and brings the best out of them. This makes the teacher-pupil relationship a pious one.
Teachers mold the characters in youths and produce healthy citizens needed for the prosperity of a nation. They are community leaders and role models for students. They are supporters of students at the microscopic level and builders of nations at the macroscopic

Islam emphasizes attaining knowledge and holds teachers in high regard
In fact, the very first verse to be revealed on the Holy Prophet (PBUH) was about reading, knowing, and pen. Emphasis is given on attaining the knowledge through examples like “the seeing,” “the good”, “the light,” and restricting from ignorance through words like “the blind,” and “depth of darkness,”. The importance and respect for teachers have been provided through the story of Prophet Moses (pbuh), one of the five great prophets. He had this distinction of talking with God directly, and Torah is revealed to him too. Despite all the honors, he is commanded to go to Khizr who was not equal to the rank of Moses (pbuh), but he possessed knowledge. Moses (pbuh) with utmost humbleness started to follow his teacher’s footsteps. The character of Khizr and Moses (pbuh) highlights the importance of a teacher and the position of a person who possesses knowledge.

Safer Internet Day
SAFER INTERNET DAY
What is Safer Internet Day?
Safer Internet Day is intended to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology by children and young people around the globe. The day is now celebrated in around 170 countries worldwide. It aims to raise awareness and start a conversation about online safety, especially among young people who may need to be fully aware of how to stay safe while using the internet. This year the theme of safer internet day is “Want to talk about it? Making space for conversations about life online”.
Impact of the internet on young lives: The internet plays a huge part in the lives of young people today, with many playing online games, posting on social media, and using video-sharing platforms. It may be used for fruitful results like helping young people learn new skills, expresses themselves creatively and connects with like-minded people for the exchange of knowledge and information. However, it is evident from research now that excessive use of online platforms has also been linked to low self-esteem and anxiety.
Internet and Teenagers: The Internet opens a sea of content for kids. They desire the freedom to swim the sea of the internet without any checks and balances. Users of social media are at an all-time high in recent times. According to some research, 90 per cent of teens ages 13-17 years are on social media. In recent times, we have witnessed the rise of violent, sexual and hateful content circulating on these platforms on which kids are present most of their time.
Internet & Health problems: Having continuous access to the internet on smart devices led to the overuse of smart devices like laptops or smartphones/ tablets. It is shocking to know the number of diseases reported among children globally is increasing. All this is a result of cutting off from physical activities and spending more time playing games or accessing the internet for long hours. There is a constant increase in the number of youths who are dealing with insomnia, depression, obesity, heart stroke and low concentration.
By reading all these one should not assume that the internet only has negative impacts on human lives instead there are many positive benefits of the internet we have on our lives, for example, communication has become easy and you can talk to anyone through the words with the help of the internet. Education has become cheap, there are plenty of reading materials, books and journals available online across the globe. Like-minded people can now exchange information easily with each other for increasing their wisdom. In fact, when the internet is used to create kindness, it can make people feel happy, joyful and hopeful, it can bring people together and build community and Inspire others to be kind and hopeful towards life. It is the internet’s judicious use which we need to learn including you and me.

Success is wisely managing personal and professional life
Success is one per cent inspiration and 99 per cent perspiration. Success and progress go hand in hand most of the time. We should keep in mind that there is no short cut to success. A successful person is not the one who has achieved great progress in his / her profession but it is the one who has taken care of life as a whole.
Ribbon vector created by macrovector – www.freepik.com
Success comes with punctuality. And if you have failed in that first endeavour, even if you have accomplished several tasks, they do not give the satisfaction that you yearn for. People don’t decide your success, it is you who decide your own success. At the end of the day, if you have managed both your personal and professional life wisely, then the smile of satisfaction on your tired face is your success.
We have to work wisely all the time. A successful person strikes a balance between his / her personal and professional life. On certain days if you fail to strike that balance; it does not mean you are a failure, it is only a learning experience. Failures are stepping stones towards success only when you learn from your failure. Planning and positive attitude will help you in the long run.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts. Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavour. Accumulation of facts is not knowledge. It is when you utilize that knowledge at the right time and right place that measures your success. Being in the limelight for all the wrong reasons is not success for that matter being in the limelight for all the good reasons may not be success either.
In short, success is progression. A well-managed and calculated life with means and ways to handle victory and defeat with an optimistic mind is success.

Characteristic of a Good Student
CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD STUDENT
A good student must have the following characteristics in him/her otherwise his/her personality will remain incomplete.
He should keep in mind that knowledge expands with doing exercises and is secured with questions. Knowledge is a treasure and question is its key. However, one should avoid needless questioning. Putting questions after questions to the teachers is an act of mischief and impertinence. Never occupy the seat of your teacher whether he is present or absent.
Always remember that you are a Muslim and you have to live in the world like an exemplary student. Keep prestige in walking, speaking and character so that others hold you in esteem. Speak with etiquette and avoid speaking harshly. Do not cross the limit during the fun and frolic nor do anything below the standard, etiquette and decorum.
A good student is also required to take part in sports, games and in curricular/extracurricular activities. However, he must keep himself away from unhealthy and destructive games and activities like conspiracies, regionalism and communalism. These activities are nothing but a stigma on the fair name of a student.
He must do his daily work without putting off, pay attention to the lectures, keep sitting peacefully, pay regards to your teachers and treat your class fellows with love, sympathy and good manners.
The messenger of Allah (SWT) said… keep sobriety while acquiring knowledge, show humbleness both to the teacher and the taught.
