Why do we need Intelligent Schooling?
In most schools in India today, education is nothing but rote learning, overload of homework and stressful exams. What is forgotten is that the child suffers under such an approach and fails to enjoy learning.
An average Indian child's knowledge beyond textbooks is absymally poor. More importantly his/ her life skills, confidence, thinking, social skills, creativity, compassion, critical thought are all being curtailed by this approach. Worse still, under this system a number of children fail to learn the basics for reading or math.
What is required is a paradigm shift in our approach to children's education. What is required is Intelligent Schooling. Intelligent Schooling is an approach which ensures children love learning for a lifetime. This needs to happen
- In a rich environment where learning is self-initiated;
- Where the child's natural curiosity is sparked and satisfied;
- Where the focus is on developing personality, skills and leadership;
- Where the child is safe from punishment, humiliation, and excessive control.
