For the first time, I merged in the speech of a graduation ceremony that I do not have a link, this happened and I am browsing social media sites, when His Excellency the Minister of Education, Dr. Muhammad bin Mubarak Jumaa, decided at the graduation ceremony of the Arab Open University, to move away from the protocol word and the official nature of the speeches, to recount an influential scene that almost summarizes the philosophy of education, the minister tells the scene of a small child who knocks on the window of his car, not a seller Jawwal, but it was a way in which a hidden call behind the glass was a call that reveals the fragility of a social reality in some of its angles, and the school, the state, and the community cry out to pay attention to those around them and miss their affairs.
The minister, in the spirit of the father, not the official, narrated the story to attend in the midst of a diagonal vision towards him, and he stood at its details as someone who treated a precise wound, so the reference turned into green, and asked him what your name is, and he shouted in his name with a high scream that exceeded the minister who was not satisfied with the narration and made it a story in one of his speeches, but rather continued the situation, until he confirmed the stability of the situation to transfer it to us after two months.
But the story did not stop at the minister, as there is another hero in the background: another child named “Iyad”, he is the one who drew the attention of his colleague that the minister is in front of him while he was complaining to him, simply told him: “This is the Minister of Education … spirit and his word.”
Here is the essence of the case: that the child who returned his colleague to the seats of the study was not an employee of the ministry, nor a social supervisor, nor a member of his family or neighbors, or a person who has validity or position, but he possessed enough awareness to refer and direct, and create a difference, Iyad did not save his colleague only, but we all mentioned that change does not need more than an eye and a heart.
Family disintegration and the leaving it from the educational interruption, psychological dispersion, and invisible refraction in the structure of society that was in the background of the whole story, the absence of the father, the child’s move to live with a relative abroad, lost years of education, then a return without follow -up, these stories are not rare, but they often pass quietly, without arousing the attention of anyone, some of them happen in the corresponding corner of the neighborhood, or with a family member, but we do not turn, Each of us may be a witness to it, or even a party capable of interfering, if he expanded a little, and takes upon him to bear his social responsibility.
Amid this story, the name “Iyad Hussein”, the student who deserves to be mentioned a lot, is highlighted, so Iyad who did not ignore the sadness of his absent colleague, but rather referred to him to the minister’s car, and with this simple act he had a great impact, as he contributed to returning a student to the seats of the study, and the minister himself honored Iyad, stressing that the whole society was small or large, responsible for protecting the future of this generation.
Because the country is not only built with regulations, but also with care, the Royal Institution for Humanitarian Action headed by His Highness Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa was a milestone, as the institution adopted his case Kitim, and provided him with comprehensive care: educational, psychological, social, and behavioral, and this indicates that it indicates integration in the vision, which makes us trust that there is a silent to restore the balance when it is disturbed.
Between Iyad, who pointed out, and a child almost wasted, and an official who did not ignore, the stories that restore to education are formed, and society has its role, they are messages that carry lessons that are not written in the courses, and are not learned in the courses or workshops, but are taught by situations and digging in memory, messages that we need to re -read them with the eyes of the future, in a time when the images are crowded Noise, there are still those who knock on windows … and who open them.
