“Uroosa teaches a child who suffers from a rare muscular disease due to which he is unable to sit, walk or hold things in his hands. Because of her efforts, the child comes happily to school, participates in all the activities, and is learning to express his needs and wants,” the PR said, adding that the hardworking teacher’s relentless efforts are a motivation to all the teachers across the globe.
Moreover, Pakistani teachers have always been at the forefront of these awards. Earlier, Ahmed Saya from Cordoba School was nominated as the global winner of the award for his outstanding efforts. Ahmed was among six other teachers who had qualified from around the world.
Meanwhile, the Country Head for Cambridge University Press Karima Kara stated, “Teachers are arguably the most important members of our society. They give children purpose, set them up for success as citizens of the world, and inspire in them a drive to do well in life.”
“I am extremely proud that year after year, teachers from Pakistan are winning this award and are inspiring good in others,” she added.
