यह दौर बिल्कुल सही है मगर कोविड-19 माह अप्रैल 2020 में इण्डिया में ऐसा दौर आया जिसकी वजह से तालीमी इदारे बन्द हो गए और सभी कारोबारी तब भी ठप। यहां तक कि इंसान की रोज़मर्रा की आदतें भी बन्द हो गईं। वहीं तालिमी का रस भी गिरा गया, जिससे इल्म का गुरूर कुछ हद तक कम हो गया। उसी समय आया जब यह तय हुआ रोजगार के लिए किसी प्राइवेट कंपनी या सरकारी फर्म के लिए इंसान काम कर सकता था या नहीं।
उस वक्त ऑनलाइन तालीम हासिल करना मुनासिब था। अगर घर पर रहकर या मोबाइल फोन वर्क के जरिए तालीम दी जाए तो यह बड़ा सराहनीय होगा।
आज के दौर में अगर घर पर रहकर या मोबाइल फोन के जरिए देश और दुनिया के किसी भी इल्म के फन में महारत हासिल की जा सकती है तो इसमें कोई अड़चन नहीं होनी चाहिए। इसके लिए इंसान को सोचना होगा। आज के वक्त इंसान एक ही काम में भरोसा नहीं रख सकता।
तालीम की रफ्तार को तेज करने के लिए इंसानियत ने हौसला बुलन्द किया है, जो कोविड-19 की दौर में भी कामयाबी के झंडे गाड़ने के बराबर है। इस्लामियात स्कूल के बच्चों की मसरूफियत देखने लायक है।

To those who have made it past reading this line, Assalamu Alaikum and congratulations! In this ever-changing landscape, you have kept alive the art of reading—a rare but invaluable skill in today's world. It is due to your resilience that the world of printed media continues to survive, even thrive, amidst these evolving times.
Studies show that ever since the mass production of affordable cell phones, access to the internet has rapidly increased across all age groups. Young children, even those as young as five, now hold smartphones, often given by parents as a means to occupy their attention. As they grow older, the desire for more expensive phones, filled with features beyond their comprehension, only intensifies.
The explosion of content creation on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest has drastically lowered the barrier between creators and consumers. However, with this shift comes a reduced attention span—gone are the days of 4-hour movies from the '80s and '90s. Today, we're scrolling through videos that last mere seconds. This decline in patience is a warning sign, as it contributes to mental and emotional issues such as anxiety, irritation, and reduced interest in studies or productive activities.
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the use of digital platforms for education—a silver lining in a dark time. At our institution, we embraced this by conducting classes via Zoom and tracking student progress through WhatsApp. This digital shift ensured that students retained the foundational skills in reading, writing, and basic mathematics, despite the disruptions caused by the pandemic.
Yet, there remains a large gap in foundational skills, as highlighted by reports from organizations like ASER (Annual Survey of Education). In fact, about 25% of the youth cannot read a Class II-level text in their native language. More than half of 14 to 18-year-olds struggle with simple division, and only 43.3% can solve basic problems correctly. Such gaps hinder real-world proficiencies like budgeting, applying discounts, and calculating interest rates. Bridging this gap is essential for the future success of our youth.
Together, as educators and parents, we must continue supporting digital learning tools while ensuring that children balance screen time with other productive activities. By doing so, we can ensure they thrive academically and emotionally in this fast-paced world.

مختلف اسکولوں میں چندے والے بچوں سے اس اسکول کے معیار کا جواز پیش کروایا جاتا ہے کہ کیونکہ اسکول پیسہ نہیں وصول کرتا اس لیے معیار نیچے ہے۔ اردو میڈیم اور انگریزی میڈیم اسکولوں میں فرق نہیں ہوتا، فرق استاد کا ہوتا ہے۔ ہر کلاس میں طلبہ کے نمبر بڑھنے سے نہیں، تلفظ بہتر کرنے سے استاد بہتر ہوتا ہے۔ آج کل، ہم ایسی دنیا میں ہیں جہاں انسانیت سیکھنے کا گراف نیچے ہوا تھا۔ دنیا بھر میں تیزی سے ٹیکنالوجی تعلیم کو نئے طریقوں سے منتقل کر رہی ہے۔
اسی لیے ہمارے بچوں کو سیکھنے والے طریقوں سے مشورہ لینا چاہیئے تاکہ کرنٹ اسکول کا معیار بہتر ہو۔ ہمارے بچوں کی تعداد میں گزشتہ ۱۲ سالوں سے کامی اسکول بورڈ کا رزلٹ دنیا کے تمام اسکولوں سے بہتر رہا ہے۔
اسکول کا مقصد صرف تعلیم دینا نہیں ہے بلکہ بچوں کی نشو و نما اور شخصیت سازی میں ترقی کے بہترین اصول مہیا کرنا ہے۔ ہماری ریاستوں میں والدین کے لیے ۱۰۰ فیصدی تعلیمی نظام کو برقرار رکھنا ہے۔ ہمارے اسکولوں میں آج کا دور جدید تعلیم کے طریقوں کے ساتھ جڑا ہوا ہے۔
بچوں کی نشوونما کے ساتھ والدین کو مشورہ دیتے رہنا بھی ایک اہم فریضہ ہے، اور آج کے بچوں کے مستقبل کے لیے ہمیں بہترین اساتذہ کا انتخاب کرنا چاہیئے۔

بچوں کے داخلے میں اسکول کا معیار اور اس کا یقین آج کل اسکولوں میں بہت زیادہ دیکھا جاتا ہے۔ لوگ عام طور پر یہ سمجھتے ہیں کہ جن اسکولوں میں زیادہ فیس وصول کی جاتی ہے، ان کا معیار بہتر ہوگا۔ جب کہ معیار کا تعلق اسکول کی فیس سے نہیں بلکہ اساتذہ کے طریقہ تدریس اور طلبہ کی استعداد سے ہوتا ہے۔
ہمارے اسکول نے ہمیشہ معیار تعلیم کو ترجیح دی ہے اور یہ یقین دلایا ہے کہ ہر بچہ اپنی بنیادی تعلیم میں مکمل مہارت حاصل کرے۔ اساتذہ کو خاص طور پر ٹریننگ دی جاتی ہے تاکہ وہ بچوں کو بہتر طریقے سے تعلیم دے سکیں۔ ہمارے اسکول میں ہر سال کا نتیجہ بہترین رہا ہے اور ہمارا مقصد یہی ہے کہ ہم مستقبل میں بھی اسی معیار کو برقرار رکھیں۔
آج کل کے والدین کو بھی مشورہ دیا جاتا ہے کہ وہ بچوں کی تعلیم پر خاص توجہ دیں اور اس بات کو یقینی بنائیں کہ ان کا بچہ صرف نمبروں تک محدود نہ رہے بلکہ حقیقی معنوں میں سیکھے۔ تعلیمی معیار کا اصل پیمانہ یہی ہے کہ بچہ ہر موضوع کو سمجھنے اور اس پر عبور حاصل کرے۔

It is a matter of pride to write the message for Dareech-e-sir syed, the magazine of Sir Syed International School and Sir Syed Memorial Inter College. My heart fills with immense pleasure as I perceive progress being made at Sir Syed School. Sir Syed Memorial Inter College has been upgraded with all streams (Science, Commerce & Arts).
"Education is not just about the subjects that are learned and taught in school, it is a lifelong practice that can be exciting if we hop on the train of experience and travel to every imaginable place on earth."
Our aim, importantly, is to make education a fun-filled, enjoyable, learning, and growing experience on the solid foundation of values. We believe it is important to create an environment where students look eagerly forward to coming to school. We want them to have fond memories of their time spent with us long after they have left the portals of the school.
So, my dear students.... "Have a pure soul, be loving and have a caring heart, have imaginations and creativity. With passion and integrity in pursuit of happiness, believe that education is power and we will never stop learning with an endless quest for knowledge and nurturing curiosity."
I wish all my students all the best in life, may success be your companion at every turn and stage of life by the grace of Allah....

शिक्षा का सामाजिक स्तर
किसी भी विद्यालय की पत्रिका (मैगज़ीन) उस विद्यालय का दर्पण होती है। उसी से विद्यालय सांस्कृतिक और शैक्षिक गतिविधियों के साथ-साथ साहित्यिक रूचि का भी पता चलता है। स्कूल की पत्रिका (मैगज़ीन) अभिव्यक्ति इस बात का प्रमाण है कि यह विद्यालय के सर्वांगीण विकास के लिए स्कूल प्रबंध परिवार प्रतिबद्ध है।
समाज में सबसे बहुमूल्य चीज़ यदि कोई है, तो वह है “ज्ञान”। मानव के मूलभूत अधिकारों में ज्ञान का प्राप्तिकरण भी सम्मिलित है। हर व्यक्ति का पहला गुरु उसका परिवार होना चाहिए। शिक्षा ही एक ऐसा साधन है जो व्यक्ति के मानसिक और आंतरिक विकास को निखारती है और उसके जीवन को सही दिशा देती है। शिक्षा ही हमें मानवता के उच्चतम स्तर पर ले जाती है, सीखने की लालसा हमें तरक्की की दिशा में ले जाती है।
शिक्षा का कोई मोल नहीं है, और उसके स्वाभाविक प्रभाव से पैदा होने वाले चरित्र की तुलना किसी अन्य साधन से नहीं की जा सकती।
