Beyond the Report Card | Firdouse Muhamdu Joupa | TEDxADIS Muroor Youth
In a world where academic performance often defines worth, Firdouse Joupa takes a bold stand against the limitations of letter grades. Through Beyond the Report Card, she explores how a single number or percentage can never capture the depth of a person’s potential, creativity, or resilience. Drawing from personal experiences and broader insights, Firdouse makes a powerful case for redefining success in education—and in life. Firdouse is a bright and accomplished 15-year-old high school student with a deep passion for reading, writing, debate, and table tennis. A consistent academic topper, she has also won numerous accolades in elocution, Qirath, presentations, and table tennis competitions. Beyond the classroom, Firdouse is a confident and charismatic speaker who has anchored several school and community programmes with poise and professionalism.
In her TEDx talk, “Beyond the Report Card,” Firdouse shares a powerful message from a student’s perspective — questioning how success is measured and advocating for a more holistic view of learning. Through her words, she encourages educators, parents, and peers to look beyond grades and recognize the diverse talents and voices that often go unnoticed.
