Let Your Dreams Take A Flight

Innovative Teaching
Muhammad Ali (43) is transforming the lives of his students at his school in a remote village, in the Kargil district, with new teaching methods. The first issues he saw were the lack of confidence, aptitude, and skills in reading English and Urdu and a variety of activities associated with language learning.
