Mr. Speaker, I rise today in the House to congratulate my constituent Ms. Amel Misbah on receiving the 2025 Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence in STEM. This award, Canada's highest honour for elementary and secondary school teachers, recognizes STEM educators who go above and beyond in fostering engaging learning environments and preparing students for a digital and innovation-based economy.
Ms. Misbah teaches chemistry to grade 11 and grade 12 students at York House, an all-girls school in my riding. Described by her students as passionate and a life-changer, she teaches through engaging, discussion-based learning, challenging students to think critically and to focus on why things happen, rather than relying only on memorization. She adapts her lessons to suit her students' needs and feedback, helping them build confidence and develop a real understanding of chemistry.
Again, I want to congratulate Ms. Amel Misbah on her extraordinary dedication to learning. I thank her for inspiring the next generation of scientists, innovators and leaders.
