One thing I think schools (in countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc.) should teach (especially in smaller towns/rural areas) is gender equality. In patriarchal societies like these, girls are rarely encouraged to speak up, express their ideas, or say what they truly feel. As a result, many girls grow up without knowing how to set healthy boundaries or make their own decisions. This later affects their self-confidence. Schools should teach girls from a young age: - it's okay to express their feelings and needs - It's okay to say "no" without guilt - to be celebrated for their ideas and strengths, not just for how they look or how obedient they are. Along with this, financial literacy should be taught as well. They need to learn how to budget, save, invest, and understand taxes, because often, these skills are handled by the male members of their families. When they suddenly need to manage things on their own, it can become intimidating. Lastly, one of the biggest things is giving them the opportunity to make choices. Often, decisions are made for them. If schools provide girls the space to make decisions early on, they’ll gradually build trust in their own judgment and learn to lead their own lives.

How travelling boosts your language experience Part 2 - Culture of English. In Russia, we're taught that "how are you?" is an important part of greeting. Unfortunately, it might be ignored frequently. Meanwhile, guys from a country where English is one of the official languages use it permanently. Once I took a taxi in Namibia, the driver asked me "how are you?" for about 3 times: when he called to confirm a pick-up address, when he met me there, when I got into the car. - Official writing still exists. My students from IT are quite flexible in terms of communications and skip formal rules quite often, even with the colleagues who are native speakers. You won't do while communicating with hotels, car rental, mobile communication services, Airbnb hosts, etc. Everyone follows the rules: greetings, main part and farewell. If you don't do it, you might be perceived as a rude person. - The last, but not the least. Making mistakes doesn't impede your communications. People understand each other, even using wrong tenses, skipping articles, making mistakes with comparative forms of adjectives. Moreover, no one cares. Let alone, no one shames you because of it. The only thing which may influence your interaction negatively is silence. Travel, explore, speak:)
