Sakina was selected by the judges for inspiring her students to take real action on global issues.
Sakina is one of nine regional winners of the global Cambridge competition that celebrates the achievements of teachers around the world. As a regional winner, she will win £500 worth of books for her class, a trophy, take part in a regional awards ceremony and receive publicity for herself and her school during the coming year.

Sakina has been teaching for 25 years and currently teaches Cambridge IGCSE and AS Level Global Perspectives, fostering research, analysis and reflective thinking in students. Sakina was nominated for encouraging her students to engage with global issues in meaningful ways. One notable example was a project where students researched HIV and AIDS, connecting with individuals affected by the condition. They compiled their findings into a book, and the proceeds were used to support students living with HIV or with HIV-affected parents.
Sakina said, ‘This recognition is not mine alone, it belongs to every student who chose to question, care deeply, and act purposefully. Global Perspectives is more than a subject; it is a journey that helps young minds realize that global issues are not just distant headlines. They are right here, calling us to respond with empathy and courage. I am deeply proud of my students, whose compassion and creativity have transformed learning into meaningful change. When education ignites purpose, we do not just hope for a better world, we start building it, one thoughtful action at a time.’

The 2025 competition received over 5000 nominations for teachers in 101 different countries around the world. Nominations not only thanked teachers for the hard work they put into teaching, but also for all the extra things they do to ensure their students are happy and healthy.
Rod Smith, Managing Director of International Education said, ‘At Cambridge, we are constantly inspired by the stories of teachers who go above and beyond, not for recognition but because they believe in the power of education to change lives. In an industry where AI is making all the headlines, it’s uplifting to see the warmth and humanity that this year’s winners have brought to their classrooms.
‘These awards are a yearly reminder that teachers remain the most vital part of delivering a rounded education.

National Panchayati Raj Day: Four Women Leaders Who are Igniting Rural Transformation
Star player Harmanpreet Singh who led the Indian men’s hockey team to a medal in 2024 at the Paris Olympics was often referred to by his team mates as ‘Sarpanch Sahab‘ owing to his poised and calm demeanour in stressful situations. The title signified not just the respect he has earned but the quality of leadership he has demonstrated. As for the origin of the term, it has its roots in the Panchayati Raj. This system in particular plays a crucial role in shaping leaders who can steer grassroots governance and improve healthcare, education, and community welfare. Much like a captain, a Sarpanch leads from the front to improve lives in underserved regions. As the country prepares to observe National Panchayati Raj Day on April 24, meet ‘Sarpanch Sahibas’ who are shaping their communities through active local leadership and smashing gender barriers as well.

Breaking the Silence: Reclaiming Control Over Urinary Incontinence
By – Dr Palak Dengla, Chief Physiotherapist, Aster RV Hospital
The Silent Struggle
Living with urinary incontinence isn’t just about unexpected leaks—it’s about the quiet erosion of confidence and embarrassment that follows. After many years of helping patients through this journey, I’ve witnessed how this condition silently steals away life’s simple pleasures: laughing without worry or enjoying social activities without anxiety.
Your Core’s Hidden Hero
At the heart of recovery lies your pelvic floor—a critical component of your core muscle system that works in harmony with your deep abdominal, lower back, and diaphragm muscles to stabilize your spine and support your organs. When this essential core element weakens due to obesity, childbirth, aging, or surgery, your body’s natural control system fails.
The Emotional Burden
The emotional toll can be devastating, with many patients withdrawing from activities they once loved due to self-consciousness and fear.
Shattering the Silent Stigma
Urinary incontinence remains one of healthcare’s last taboos—a condition discussed in whispers, if at all. As physiotherapists, we create safe spaces where this silence is broken and shame dissolves into understanding. By confronting this taboo directly, patients find relief not just physically, but emotionally.
The Recovery Pathway
Through specialized pelvic floor exercises that integrate into everyday movements, patients strengthen not just muscles but rebuild confidence. These tailored regimens enhance the entire core system, restoring control and stability.
Technology as Your Ally
Modern physiotherapy at Aster RV Hospital offers innovative approaches through muscle stimulation and biofeedback EMG technology. Our game-based therapy transforms rehabilitation by visualizing muscle activity in real-time, making invisible progress visible and motivating.
Reclaiming Your Freedom
With each strengthening session, patients reclaim more than muscle function—they reclaim their independence and dignity. Don’t let incontinence define your story. Reach out to a physiotherapist who understands not just your condition, but your courage in breaking the silence.

Axis Communications reveals new video surveillance industry perspectives on AI
23 APRIL 2025 – APAC – Axis Communications, the global industry leader in video surveillance, has released its latest report, ‘The state of AI in video surveillance’, which explores industry perspectives on the use of AI in security, safety and beyond. The report reveals the top critical insights on AI technologies, their integration, and opportunities and challenges with regard to security, safety, business intelligence, and operational efficiency.
AI deployment has surged over the past two years, notably due to increased customer demands, improved knowledge of applications and the emergence of new use cases.
Mats Thulin, Director AI C Analytics Solutions, Axis Communications commented, “AI remains one of the most powerful and transformative technologies within the video surveillance industry. This new research reveals that while there are significant opportunities for AI to improve safety and security, operational efficiency and business intelligence, there must be a focus on ethical implementation and meaningful integrations which drive value.
Through qualitative research interviews with AI experts from the Axis global partner network, several thematic insights regarding AI technologies were uncovered in this new report.
The transition to cloud and edge AI continues to accelerate
The research findings highlight that the move from on-premise server systems to hybrid architectures continues at pace. This development is driven by the need for greater scalability, faster processing, and improved bandwidth usage. The hybrid model, which combines the immediate processing capabilities of edge AI on cameras with the scalability and long-term data storage of the cloud, is emerging as the preferred approach by many. This balance allows organizations to harness the strengths of both technologies.
The integration of diverse data sources
Research respondents agreed that integrating additional sensory data, such as audio and contextual environmental factors, to complement video data will enhance situational awareness, provide deeper, more actionable insights, and offer a more comprehensive understanding of events. Ultimately, this will revolutionize safety and security while elevating business intelligence capabilities.
Combining multiple streams of data enables more accurate detection and prediction of potential threats. For instance, in emergency scenarios, pairing visual data with audio analysis can allow security teams to respond faster and more accurately.
The research also highlighted that facial recognition seems to have become more widely adopted in many countries, supported by the introduction of new regulations to help clarify how this technology can be applied ethically, and provide a framework for its responsible use.
Experts interviewed predicted that facial recognition will continue to gain traction globally, but there must first be alignment with privacy regulations and transparency about how the technology works. Ethical considerations around the use of facial recognition remain a central focus, particularly in regions with strong privacy laws.
