In Her Shoes We go behind the scenes with Dr Saba D Parkar, Vice Principal, Al Wisam School.
If your house was on fire, what would you save? As long as my loved ones are safe, nothing. If it can be burnt, it can be rebuilt.
Do you have a secret talent? Cooking is more than my talent; it's my stress buster. Every time I'm upset and need to focus inwards, it liberates me and aligns me. I also make really funny memes under a pen-name.
What skill would you like to learn? Gamification programming; it's the future of education. I believe adaptive testing is the way to go and gamification will become the new norm.
Dr Saba What would be your dream holiday destination? I would love to tour the museums of the world.
What’s your all-time favourite book or film? As a teen, I loved the Harry Potter books but my favourite book is The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. My favourite movies are, without a trace of doubt, the Iron Man series.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given? The best piece of advice probably comes as an old saying from my father: “Have you ever seen a monkey living in a house? That's because a monkey always says that he will build his home tomorrow. Whatever needs to be done needs to be done today. Keep building."
