Good afternoon Mr. Amer, first I would like to thank you for taking the time to talk with me today, I know that you’re on a tight schedule, so I’m going to try and run these questions by you as quickly as possible.
Of course, it’s my pleasure to be a part of this.
First of all, could you tell us a bit about yourself?
Well, I’m Mr. Aamer Alaflak, the current economics teacher for grade 11 science stream, Business teacher of the grade 11 commerce
stream, and business
and accounting teacher
for the grade 12 commerce
stream. I have a PhD in
business management that
I earned through hard work
and studies at Chandigarh
University in India, and I have
participated and created multiple
international indexed researches
in Q1, Q2, and Q3 journals such as
the journal of hospitality and insight
research called “The impact of social
media branding and AI on promoting green tourism in emerging economies like Egypt”.

That’s very nice, and how long have you been in the UAE?
I have been in the UAE for around a year now and it has been a really great year so far.
Now, onto the first question, what do you think is a very important value that students should have to go forward in life?
I value respect the most. When we respect others, we become capable of learning and understanding them; this then allows us to become better, strive for greater, and achieve great things.
That’s a great answer. Respect truly is important. Now, is there a specific quote you live by or think that students would learn from?
Okay. Is there a mistake that you see many students do that you think they shouldn’t be doing at this time and age?

Currently, I think that some students depend too much on copying others, not just in studying but in attitude as well, they copy others too much and this leads to them limiting themselves. I believe that everyone should be unique in multiple ways, and that they shouldn’t just do things because others do it.
Interesting answer. What do you think is the most important thing in a student?
I believe that the student’s overall merits are very important, their attitude, their health, their want to study, their ethics, and their integration of what they study in the class.
Finally, if there was any idea that you could impart on a student that would help them with their lives currently and in the future, what would it be?
An idea that I would want students to have is to never take friendship for granted, friendship is a truly life changing bond; for better or for worse, so pick your friendships with your future in mind, keep them close to you, value them for what they are, and always strive to make them better. I would also like students to keep their focus currently on their mentality for the future and their health simply due to how close they are to graduating and how important they are for adult life and work.
Well, those were all my questions. Thank you again Mr. Amer for your time and have a good day inshallah.
