Riyadh, Apr 25: Lecturers from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, recently provided training for senior teachers from International Indian School Riyadh (IISR).

The Jamia Millia Islamia Alumni Association (JMIAA), Riyadh Chapter, organized the session with the IISR.

Zubair Meenai, professor in the department of social work at Jamia Millia Islamia, said teachers must ask themselves several questions to determine whether they are effective in the classroom.

Meenai has been associated with the Center for Early Childhood Development and Research (CECDR) at Jamia Millia Islamia.

He said the questions include whether classes are inclusive and diverse, take into account the mother tongues of students, and if they learn better by listening, watching or experiencing lessons.

Teachers must determine if students have learning disabilities, including visual, auditory, or any other challenges. They must also check if students suffer from color blindness or are hyperactive.

In addition, teachers must find out if students have proper nutrition, because this is linked to better cognition.

Meenai said teachers must devise their teaching plans by taking into account the views of all students in their classes.

Abdul Naseeb Khan, principal of Jamia Senior Secondary School, who was also present, said teachers must continue to learn and become agents of change.

He said they must be trustworthy, truthful and inspire their students. They should also teach their students about the art of living together, and respect the individuality of each child.

Khan said training sessions should be held regularly to keep teachers up to date on the latest developments in training technology. He stressed peer exchanges of expertise, where teachers could demonstrate and share their skills. Teachers should be paid well to meet their needs, he added.

IISR Principal Shaukat Parwez, who welcomed the guests, underscored the importance of education for both males and females. He said women can participate in public life as borne out by the role of women during the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

He thanked JMIAA Riyadh President Ghizal Mahdi for making the event possible.

In addition to IISR managing committee academic representatives, Dilshad Ahmed and Shafee Sattar, others present on the occasion were JMIAA Riyadh Vice President Mohammad Ghaysuddin, Treasurer Abdul Rahman, former president Khursheed Anwar, former general secretary Zafar Bari and Wasiullah.

Asma Shah, vice principal of the IISR girls section, thanked the guests and the JMIAA for the initiative. The program was conducted by Farha Tazeen and the IISR principal presented the guests with souvenirs.

He was suffering from cancer and was admitted to Al Tawam Hospital Al Ain some time ago. He was on the last stage of illness which was not detected earlier.

His funeral last rites were conducted on Thursday August 7 at Jebel Ali cemetery in Hindu rites with a few of his family members present. Due to Covid pandemic, neither his body was able to be flown back to hometown nor could his two children come down to attend the funeral. However, it was said that his wish was to be cremated here in Dubai which unknowingly sometime back he whispered to one of his friends.

Purushotham had few years ago, survived a heart attack and fought back his life, though it had a minor paralytic effect on him. Even though, till recently he used to do his day-to-day work normally. He was a hard working personality and owned a readymade garment shop in Ajman and Dubai mostly taking care of clients with requirement of uniforms and coveralls. His dedication towards work was always appreciated by his clients who used to get their things delivered on time always.

He was never a publicity person and was helping the poor and needy in whatever ways he could silently. He strongly supported the community and was associated with Nama Tuluveru and Billawa community with commitment. He used to voluntarily come forward for the ground work of various functions of the community and used to be there until it was done perfectly.

There are concerns among expatriates because the number of people infected with the coronavirus and the number of deaths reported in various provinces are increasing at an alarming rate."

"Saudi Government and Health Ministry are taking excellent precautionary measures, however, in the coming days expect to see the number of cases to increase in Saudi Arabia. The Indian government needs to take diplomatic and immediate intervention to ensure the treatment of Indian expatriates considering the number of effected people increasing", He said.

He also urged that the Embassy and the Government of India should ensure qaurantiane faculty for Indian expatriates and arrange special low cost flights to bring back expatriates who would like to return home country.

" Government of India and Indian embassy need to intervene immediately to ensure that the quarantine system is in place for Indian expatriates as the facilities in the rooms where the residents are staying together are very limited. There should also be a mechanism to organize low-cost flight services for expatriates who are ready to go home. The government system should also be able to accommodate the expatriates in special quarantine areas in hometown as soon they arrive in India", he urged.
