Modern Montessori training graduation

THE twenty-third graduation ceremony of Modern Montessori Training (MMT) fo mmt r this year’s batch was held in Karachi yesterday.

This teachers training course, offered and managed by New Century Education (NCE), was attended by over sixty students divided into morning and afternoon sessions.

Rayed Afzal, director of NCE, while congratulating the graduates on their hard work over the last eight months, laid emphasis on the fact that obtaining the diploma was only the start of the journey and not the termination.

“For the national development of a country, money is not important and neither is the presence of minerals. It is in fact the level of education that people in that country posses and part,” he added.

The ceremony comprised of a diploma distribution session that involved presentation of certificates to all graduates for the year. Special awards were then awarded to students who had perfect attendance throughout the entirety of the course as well as for having the best portfolio and the best teams in extra-curricular events organised during the course.

The level of dedication put into the course was depicted by one of the students winning the perfect attendance prize who had attended classes even on her Nikah day. Another student, Rukhsana Amir, winning the best portfolio prize as well as four other prizes, had spent late nights researching, drawing and producing the award-winning portfolio while having three children and a husband to look after.

Former MMT graduates also shared their views and their current involvement in the field of child education during the course of the evening. Family members of the recent graduates were called upon stage to share how life has changed for them and their family during the last eight months.

NCE is the only establishment providing professional Montessori-level training in Pakistan. Over the course of the last ten years, it has produced over 900 fully-trained teachers ready to impart their learning onto Montessori students.

life as a journo

I started writing at the age of 15 - much later than few I know involved in the field of journalism - as a contributor to an e-newsletter. I wasn't very good at it but kept pursuing it, so much so that I was forced to change career paths; landing into print journalism from computer science.

I have written on topics ranging from sports, politics and news to IT, fashion, entertainment and the world of pharmacy.

Landing free concert passes, chance to interview celebs and sports personalities and travelling around the globe on company expense, I am in love with the world of journalism.

the interest in photography

An interest in photography developed randomly and grew into a hobby that I started dedicating more than a few minutes to.

Covering cricket matches, fashion
shows, music concerts and randomly walking around with a camera, I have taken, and edited, a few photos that I like.

As before, comments welcome and appreciated.
