Education doesn’t begin and end in the classroom. It’s shaped by the people who surround a child with care, encouragement, and opportunity—day in and day out. This International Day of Families, we’re celebrating the parents, guardians, and community members who show up for education at home. Whether it’s making time for homework, attending school meetings, or simply cheering their children on, their support matters. Because when families are equipped and empowered, children don’t just learn—they grow in confidence, rise above challenges, and begin to lead change in their communities. (fb)

What makes a school feel safe? It’s not just fences or rules. It’s a student knowing that when they raise their hand, someone listens. That if they’re struggling, they won’t be shamed. That their voice matters. A safe school is one where children are seen, supported, and encouraged to grow—emotionally, academically, and socially. When students feel that kind of safety through caring teachers, trusted school leaders, and supportive families, they can focus on what matters most: learning, dreaming, and building a better future for themselves and their communities.
