How Teachers' Vaccinations Boost Student Success in Pakistan

This: teachers in Pakistan getting vaccinated can actually help students do better in school. Sounds surprising, right? A study in the country found that having teachers as role models can encourage students to take important actions, like getting vaccinated during a pandemic. Researchers ran an experiment comparing different ways to encourage vaccinations – using role models, offering money, or having celebrities promote it.Guess what? Only having teachers as role models made a real difference. Students were more likely to get vaccinated and their education didn't suffer as much from the pandemic. The study also looked at how well students can understand others' thoughts and feelings, which helped explain why role models worked so well. This shows that having the right role models can be a big help in tackling big problems, like pandemics.
