This paper proposes the value of building social relations
through critical conversation in schools in developing countries and
particularly in Pakistan. The current climate in most of the schools in
these countries reflects “apathy” and “ignorance”. It is argued that
schools posses a capacity for wisdom if they develop a habit of
engaging themselves into critical discourse. Schools can be personified
as human beings to speak and open their minds and hearts in front of
their stakeholders and share their successes and challenges to form a
real sense of school community. The paper also shares an example of
one of the professional teacher association networking in Pakistan
which engenders the culture of critical conversation in teachers, head
teachers and school managers through their monthly interventions
supported by one of the international private universities in Pakistan.
The findings of these self directed initiatives are very encouraging. It is
proposed that similar initiatives may lead schools to sustainable
developments.
