Senior Lecturer Mohamed Shameem Adam delivered Study Skills and Career Guidance Sessions for students of GDh. Madaveli School on 30 May 2025. The sessions were designed to support students’ academic development by strengthening effective study habits and equipping them with practical skills for managing their learning and preparing for future educational and career pathways.

The study skills component focused on effective study habits, time management, goal setting, note-taking, examination preparation, and independent learning. Students were encouraged to develop positive learning routines, strengthen critical thinking, build self-confidence, and adopt approaches that support both academic achievement and lifelong learning.

The career guidance component provided students with opportunities to explore their interests, strengths, educational pathways, and potential career opportunities. The sessions encouraged students to reflect on their abilities and aspirations and to make informed decisions about their future academic and professional development.

The initiative contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4): Quality Education by promoting inclusive and equitable learning opportunities and strengthening students’ academic, personal, and career development skills. Providing students with practical learning strategies and career guidance supports more holistic educational development.

The programme also supports SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth by helping students develop the knowledge, competencies, self-awareness, and career awareness needed for future employment, further education, and lifelong success.

Furthermore, the initiative aligns with SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals by strengthening collaboration between higher education institutions and schools. Such engagement facilitates knowledge sharing and enables academic expertise to support school students in improving their learning and preparing for future educational and career opportunities.

Through the Study Skills and Career Guidance Sessions, Senior Lecturer Mohamed Shameem Adam contributed to student academic development, career readiness, critical thinking, and lifelong learning, supporting the broader goals of quality education and sustainable development.
