Becoming a Global Citizen – A Tribute to Dr. Inge Urbancic

Today, I want to celebrate a remarkable woman — Dr. Inge Urbancic who has officially earned her doctorate and now rightfully holds the title of Doctor Inge Urbancic.

Her research is not just another academic paper; it’s a bridge between worlds — between Pakistan and the rest of the planet, between traditional education and the journey of becoming a global citizen.



The Heart of Her Research

Dr. Inge’s doctoral work, titled “Exploring Intercultural Competence and Global Citizenship in the Pakistani Classroom,” dives deep into how teachers in Pakistan understand and practice the idea of global citizenship.
She studied English teachers in Pakistani schools to understand how they interpret values like empathy, tolerance, diversity, and curiosity about the world — qualities that form the true essence of global citizenship.

Her findings revealed both hope and opportunity.
Many teachers have an open heart and a willingness to embrace the world beyond their classrooms, yet often lack the structured training to translate these values into daily teaching.
Her study calls for teacher training programs that build intercultural awareness — so that Pakistan’s youth can not only dream globally but also act globally.



Why This Matters

In an age where artificial intelligence and technology are connecting people faster than ever, the ability to understand other cultures is no longer optional — it’s essential.
Dr. Inge’s work reminds us that true education goes beyond textbooks; it is about nurturing humans who care, connect, and collaborate across borders.

Pakistan’s National Curriculum already speaks about creating global citizens — but her research shows us the how:
By empowering teachers with intercultural understanding, encouraging cultural exchanges, and embedding empathy into education systems.

At Rehan School, this message resonates deeply with our mission — to raise 1,000 leaders who build $1 million startups, uplift a million people, and raise Pakistan’s per-capita income to $100,000 a year.
Because true leadership begins when one learns to see the world through another’s eyes.



A Personal Salute

Dear Dr. Inge,
Your journey inspires not only educators but dreamers everywhere.
You’ve proven that it’s never too late to start, never too late to learn, and never too late to make a difference.
Through your dedication, you’ve built a bridge of understanding between Pakistan and the world — a bridge of compassion, knowledge, and respect.

On behalf of all of us who believe in education as the greatest force for peace and prosperity — congratulations, Dr. Inge!
May your work continue to guide teachers, students, and dreamers around the globe toward a more interconnected, understanding, and abundant world.
