International Journal of Educational Development, 2024, vol. 111, issue C

Abstract: The article reflects the author’s fifty plus years of dedication to education—as a school teacher, university professor, researcher, university administrator, and international consultant in his commitment to shaping minds and advancing knowledge. As a student, he learned that every bit of knowledge and every skill eventually proves useful. As a teacher, he aimed to inspire his students and ensure that each lesson brought them something new. As a university professor, he encouraged critical thinking, emphasized the importance of problem definition before solution, and focused on making classroom activities relevant to students' current or future careers. In his role as a researcher, he prioritized data accuracy and procedural integrity. As a university administrator, he strived to guide the institution towards its strategic goals, improve performance, and ensure alignment with its mission while meeting the needs of its stakeholders. As an international consultant, he worked to bring global perspectives to local contexts, aiming to improve educational outcomes while contributing to broader social and economic development.
