This edition features a handful of Most Inspiring Women Leaders across several sectors that are at the forefront of leading us into a digital future.

2. Phoebe A. Wasfy: Transforming the
Sphere of Education, Shaping
Leaders of Tomorrow
“Every challenge that I faced, I decided to take
it as an opportunity for growth and change,
and a chance to get into a new chapter rather
than being boggled down by it. This does not
mean that I didn’t stress or panic at times, but
it means that I had the opportunity to get up
and prove myself.”

3. Roots of Inspiration
● Coming from the country of great civilization – Egypt, and an environment
where the will always makes a way, she always stayed true to achieving her
dream of becoming a teacher.
● When Phoebe grew older and moved to North America, she got the chance to
meet some of her grandmother’s former students who had graduated from her
class years before
● She says, “With this amazing role model in my life, my passion for education
grew with me year after year until I was able to reach the beginning of my
journey in education when I became a teacher in the early 2000s.”

4. A School Ahead of its Time – Building Futures with Interactive Learning
Philopateer Christian College is a Pre-K to gr.12 school that began in the city
of Mississauga, Ontario, by the Egyptian Coptic Community in 1999. In its
inaugural year, around 40 students (K-8 at that time) were schooled in the
basement of the Canadian Coptic Centre.
As the Principal and a witness to the school’s journey, Phoebe informs, “Over
the years, our student body grew, and the programs expanded to include high
school

5. Valuing a Right Classroom Atmosphere
Educational values are not just built by
books but by the atmosphere, children
receive while they are at school.
Considering this, PCC provides its parents
and students with a cordial environment
where teachers care.
The teachers at PCC understand the
responsibility they have towards the
students; they teach and take those extra
100 miles to ensure that the concepts are
learned and understood. The institution
visualizes its students as its future
ambassadors, as well as, in the future, of
the entire world

6. Winning through Challenges
When Covid hit, the world of
education froze. Many challenges
arose. But Phoebe believed that
though challenges are part of every
step in one’s life, yet life is not about
challenges; it is about how one
handles them. She comments, “I
must say that over the years, there
have been many things that have
come up along the way, but as the
saying goes, what doesn’t break you
makes you stronger.”

7. Words to Inculcate – Teaching Creates Other
Professions
In education, one needs to acknowledge that
there is a huge responsibility to shape the
lives of students today, who will be either
doctors, teachers, or world leaders tomorrow.
Phoebe remarks, “This on its own brings into
the light the caliber of the profession. Hence,
coming into this profession, one must take it
on with respect and reverence. As someone
once said teaching is the one profession that
creates all other professions.”
