Which school subjects should Waqf-e-Nau children choose?

Children should choose according to their talents and inclinations. Experts of every kind are needed, such as engineers and doctors who place their profession in the service of faith. Parents should report the choice so that a good balance of professions emerges overall.

A child dedicated to the service of faith does not automatically have to study theology. Some will later become missionaries or teachers of religion. Others will serve their faith within their own profession, somewhere in the world.

The work of a worldwide community needs many skills. It needs engineers who build schools and hospitals, doctors who treat the sick, and experts in many sciences and arts. That is why there is no compulsory subject for everyone. Children and their parents are free to choose according to the child's talents and inclinations. What a child is good at and enjoys, it will also do well.

There is just one request. Parents should let the central office know which direction their child is taking. That way an overview can be kept. Perhaps in one country a great many want to become civil engineers, while doctors are urgently lacking.

Then advice can be given. If a child's first wish is civil engineering but it could just as well study medicine, it can be suggested that medicine would be the better choice. This is not an order but a conversation that ends in a shared agreement.

In this way two things come together. The child follows its gifts, and its work later serves where it is needed most. Any knowledge can become service when it is acquired with the right intention.
