The Aga Khan Education Services has urged parents to move beyond focusing solely on their children's academic achievements and emphasise the development of moral values that are crucial for their success in society. Speaking at the Primary Six graduation ceremony, Mr Emmanuel Ndoori, the head teacher of Aga Khan Elementary School, called on parents to guide their children in developing values such as integrity, honesty, and reliability. He stressed that these traits are essential for navigating life beyond the classroom. “The education we are giving them today will not take them any further. People will not look at your papers or how many degrees you have. They will look at your behaviour, how you relate with others, your integrity, kindness, empathy, and responsibility,” Mr Ndoori said.
