Honored, Humbled, and Shortlisted: A Global Recognition!
ALHAMDULILLAH! ✨
I am absolutely thrilled—and deeply humbled—to share some incredible news with my community, colleagues, and students. I have been officially shortlisted for the 2026 Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Awards! 🏆
To put the scale of this into perspective: out of 12,000+ nominations from every corner of the globe, I am honored to be among the final 90 teachers worldwide. Even more moving for me personally? I am one of only 10 educators selected from the entire Middle East and Africa region. 📍
💡 It Takes a Village
While my name is on the shortlist, this recognition belongs to the Pakistan International School Jeddah (PISJ) family. This achievement is a beautiful reflection of:
My Students: Your curiosity and hard work are what drive me to be better every single day.
My Colleagues: For the constant collaboration and shared passion for excellence.
Our Leadership: For providing the vision and support that allows us to thrive.
Teaching has never been just a "job" for me—it is my lifelong passion. Being recognized on a global stage by Cambridge University Press & Assessment is a moment I will cherish forever. 🎓
🚀 What’s Next?
The journey doesn't end here! I am looking forward to the next stage of the judging process with excitement and gratitude. Thank you to everyone who has cheered me on, mentored me, and walked this path with me.
Let’s keep inspiring the next generation of thinkers and problem-solvers!
Best regards,
Dr. Asif Khan
