The much-anticipated Summer School 2025 at Aitchison College launched with a resounding success as Nuts & Bolts: A Teacher’s Toolkit kicked off on a high note. The Opening Ceremony welcomed a full house of educators from Lahore and beyond, all united by a shared commitment to excellence in teaching.

Dr. Faisal Bari delivered a deeply thought-provoking keynote address that challenged conventional paradigms and reimagined the future of education. Joining us as Chief Guest, Dr. Tayyaba Tamim offered inspiring words of encouragement and underscored the importance of teacher development in today’s rapidly evolving academic landscape.

A major highlight of Day 1 was the panel discussion on “Fostering a culture of continuous improvement,” featuring prominent voices in education: Mr. Ali Raza (Group Director, Beaconhouse), Ms. Amina Kamran (Head of Senior School, Aitchison College), and Dr. Naila Burney (Head of Admissions, Local & International - Except US). Moderated by Samara Salahuddin, the session sparked in-depth conversation around sustainable professional development, adaptive leadership, and reflective practice. The interactive Q&A session further enriched the dialogue, as attendees posed insightful questions that bridged theory with practice.

Bringing a creative twist to pedagogical exploration, the Insight Hour led by acclaimed artist Kanwal Khoosat was nothing short of electrifying. Through the lens of improvisation, she invited participants to rethink their classroom presence — emphasizing spontaneity, responsiveness, and creativity as powerful tools in teaching. The session encouraged educators to step outside their comfort zones, embrace the unexpected, and experience first-hand the value of adaptability and engagement in real-time classroom scenarios.

Empowering Future Innovators through Technological Education

In a world where technology is reshaping every industry, it is imperative that we prepare our students with future-ready skills. Recognising this need, Aitchison College has partnered with Skill2Success to deliver cutting-edge programmes that equip students with practical knowledge in emerging fields.

As part of this ongoing initiative, a dedicated technology engagement session was held during the recent Parent-Teacher Meeting at Aitchison College Senior School on 16 May 2025. The session highlighted our students' progress and learning outcomes in innovative courses, including the Python AI Track, Web Development, Robotics and Electronics, and Entrepreneurship.

Parents had meaningful discussions with the Skill2 Success team and faculty members, gaining valuable insights into the real-world skills their children are developing, such as coding, AI, robotics, critical thinking, creativity, design thinking, algorithmic and logical thinking, communication skills, problem-solving, and digital literacy. Individual progress reports were shared, detailing each student’s learning journey, achievements, and areas for further development.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Parents acknowledged the quality and impact of the courses and appreciated the instructors' dedication. Many recommended that these sessions should be integrated into regular school hours for long-lasting results. There was strong appreciation for the structured approach already shaping the programmes, including pathways that support certification, exposure to advanced content, and guidance that helps students connect their learning with future academic and career goals.

This collaboration between Aitchison College and Skill2Success reflects a shared vision to cultivate confident, curious, and capable learners who are prepared for academic success and empowered to lead in an increasingly tech-driven world. These efforts are already underway through deeper integration of technology courses within the academic framework, continuous innovation in teaching methods, and active parent engagement, ensuring a meaningful and lasting impact on student development.
