Discovering what makes each child special
It is perhaps one of the most important aspects of being a teacher - having empathy towards every single child, and building a warm and unique relationship with each one.You must get to know every pupil, understand what makes them happy, what inspires them, and what can help them be the very best versions of themselves.In an environment where the education syllabus and curriculum are standard for everyone, this is not always easy.I left the Fourth Creative Childhood Forum, organized by Dar Al-Hanan Schools in Jeddah, pondering what a privileged, exciting, and at times daunting role we have.Our influence will stay with each child for life — so we must try to be not only a teacher, but also a guiding light, and a friend.The forum was incredibly enlightening and professionally put together,...

Discovering what makes each child special

A conversation with my American friend
I asked an American female friend living in one of the suburbs of San Francisco about their condition — how she and her family were faring during the crisis.She replied that her daughter and she were suffering from coughing and shortness of breath. However, the health authorities had instructed her to stay at home since she was not suffering from a high temperature.I asked her about the conditions in the city and its suburbs, whose roads and markets I know very well.She replied that people have been gripped by panic, have gone into panic buying and were stockpiling food and tissues and including toilet paper. She said she found that totally dumb!For a moment, I imagined how the scene was. This place was throbbing with glittering life all the time, its malls and markets were full of all...

A conversation with my American friend

The Arab autumn tweets!
OkazI believe in the principle of giving others a second chance, and when it comes to the relations between citizens and their nation, of giving them a third and even a fourth chance.Every human being can be influenced by ideas, information and pressures that form opinions and convictions. However, one’s position with regard to these influencing factors might change. There may also be a change in the influencing factors, such as the correcting of information, or the revealing of new facts.Therefore, we must not hold a person captive to his previous stance against his nation, without taking into consideration his current stance.We must also differentiate between objective criticism and destructive criticism, between those seeking to introduce reform and those seeking to satisfy their own...

Separation of conjoined twins: A matter of national pride
OkazThe successful surgical separation of Libyan Siamese twins at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh last Thursday was carried out by a large Saudi medical team led by Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah.The entire Saudi community along with media and social networking sites awaited news of the outcome of the operation, which reinforces the Kingdom’s position as a humanitarian nation that has made giant strides in the area of medical and scientific achievement.The Kingdom has made significant progress in the medical field and some of its specialized hospitals can compete with world-class hospitals. Saudi doctors have become distinguished experts in various specialties.Of course, Arab countries and other countries in the region have made medical achievements in some fields. However, the separation...

Aramco: Kingdom’s jewel in the hands of its people
OkazThe announcement of Aramco’s IPO through Saudi banks represents a great opportunity for safe investment presented on a gold platter. This simply means placing the most precious Saudi jewel in history into the hands of its people so that they can make direct gains. This also represents a clear indication that decision makers are keen that Saudi citizens, before anyone else, should benefit from the wealth of their country and be real partners in the Kingdom’s resources.There is no company of this size in the world with such high profitability and those who miss the train of investment will be missing a huge profit which they deserve more than anyone else.Aramco made it clear through the media that it intends to distribute dividends of $75 billion (SR281.25 billion) in 2020 after the...

Healing the market’s wounds
OkazI have long called, via this column, for creating sufficient national manpower, because it is impossible for any country to reach an advanced stage of industrial or services development without national manpower at all levels. Such manpower provides a foundation for the country. It can be likened to a ship’s rudder, as setting sail in deep waters requires a fully functional ship.As we are still in need of non-Saudi workers in low-level and some medium-level jobs, we find that the Ministry of Labor and Social Development has issued many decisions, most of which have been implemented. The ministry has made sure that its decisions are being implemented and that they remain in place via continuous monitoring and follow-up.However, the ministry has not studied the negative impacts on the...

National Song Festival
Throughout its long human history and the various names it has been given, the national song has been considered the most sincere and true societal expression of love of the homeland. It is distinguished from other kinds of songs by the positive feelings it embodies. It is full of the pride, zeal and commitment to their homeland that people carry deep in their hearts.Since the emergence of human societies, national songs and lyrics have been used to uplift the communal spirit and spread enthusiasm. Some of these national songs are like military marches with a fast tempo while others quietly reflect love for the country that is deep rooted in man.The Kingdom’s local heritage is immensely rich in artistic expression and music varies from one region to another depending on its heritage and...

The importance of Putin’s visit
OkazThe visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Riyadh next week underlines the steps taken by Saudi Arabia to strengthen its relations with Russia after the boycott following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. These relations are important in light of the fact that the commitments of Western countries that are allies of the Kingdom are sometimes affected due to the war in Yemen or some rights issues on whose definitions they differ.The Kingdom, which faces regional challenges related to the safety and security of its citizens and territory, cannot remain at the mercy of the moods and whims of Western governments that affect its interests and must instead defend its sovereignty, interests and security.For this reason, openness to countries like Russia, China and South Korea...

Benefits of entertainment
OkazYesterday, I went through the Riyadh Season programs, whose events are organized by the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) and are set to begin soon. Truly speaking, I never expected the programs to be so comprehensive and diverse, not to speak of the seriousness, care and attention that took place in making preparations.The Jeddah Season was also a very positive beginning compared to the gloomy situation that characterized entertainment before the creation of the GEA and prior to “breaking the chains that imprisoned the birds of happiness in people’s hearts for so long”.The residents of a city like Riyadh, which is located in the heart of the desert, used to look for entertainment in other regions of the country that were of a different nature.The reason for this was the lack...
