Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders: A Glimpse into CFEN Nursery and Primary School's Career Day

In this recent time, empowering children to dream big and pursue their passions is very important. During the weekend, I got invited to CFEN Nursery and Primary School to witness their Career Day program. The event was remarkable and it left a permanent mark on my thoughts towards nurturing children with their God-given talent.

At the beginning of the program, the head teacher gave a welcome address highlighting the essence of our coming and what motivated the school authority to carry out this exercise; one statement struck my heart in his address – he said the career each pupil is representing is based on what the kid said he/she wants to be in future. Unlike my school days where children might be directed towards certain professions, at CFEN school, the pupils are given the freedom to imagine themselves in any role they desire showing they have a sense of ownership over their future.

Looking around, I saw different kids adorned in the attire of their chosen profession - from doctors and engineers to artists and soldiers, the diversity of aspirations was so inspiring. This is not a way to advertise the school, but the teachers did a great job in deliberately guiding the kids through what they would want to be. Even though some of them may choose the profession from what they heard from their colleague or probably what their parents are doing, there is a freedom of choice for them; the teachers not only supported the children in exploring their interests but they provided guidance on the societal impact of various professions.

In the choice of career, teachers had an open discussion with some kids whose careers had some negative contribution to society; they were advised and shown an alternative role that relates to the profession but contributes positively to society.

The little moments I spent in the school adorned with children’s aspirations; I couldn’t help but feel hopeful for the future. CFEN Nursery and Primary School’s commitment to nurturing holistic development is evident in every aspect of their Career Day program. By empowering children to dream fearlessly, while also guiding them towards paths that contribute positively to society, the school is truly sowing the seeds for a generation of compassionate and conscientious leaders.

In conclusion, I would say that my attendance at the Career Day at CFEN Nursery and Primary School was more than simply an occasion; it was evidence of the transforming potential of education. We should be motivated by schools like CFEN, that instill a change in the mindset of the younger generation, while we continue to manage the complexity of the modern world. After all, it is through such initiatives that we pave the way for a brighter and more inclusive tomorrow.
