People have always been brought up with the idea that education is 'boring' or not 'useful' anymore. However, what a lot of us do not realise is that education is something that we have been in from a very young age, thus shaping us not just academically, but also personally and mentally. It is important that education is protected, improved, and made accessible in ways that empower students rather than disengage them. Education is about inclusivity and effective administration is the backbone of a successful team. By joining this committee as a secretary I will make sure to gather all ideas discussed in society meetings to ensure everybody's creative and amazing suggestions are taken into account and make education a safe space for younger students and educators. Organising speaker events will broaden our perspective on education which will help us enlighten the next generation of educators and make a positive impact. Also organising events which will be entertaining will bring people closer together and also allow us to catch a break from our own academics! Additionally, I have volunteered in many events such as ISOCs AL-Aqsa Week by dedicating time to attending and contributing in meetings to help organise events which will raise awareness on sensitive but important topics. My interdisciplinary and communication skills will help organise the society and allow me to make connections with other amazing and like minded people!
