Revamping of anjuman-I-Islam school, Panchgani : Alternative system

Abstract

Schools are places for learning. Places where the next generation is educated and prepared for the future. The current school system was designed in a different context to meet the needs of the previous century. If we want to prepare children to live and act in the future society it is not enough to just improve literacy and numeracy. Changes in our society like globalization and digitalization together with the increasing demand of people who can innovate and collaborate means that we have to rethink education. A study towards the education system will tell us all the issues faced by children during schooling all over the world. It’s like a race which is forced upon a kid since first day of school as a compulsion. As every X and Y specie creates a unique identity, then why when all these different unique identity come under one roof (school) taught to become one identity. The ambiance, spatial experience should be interesting, happy learning, but the reality is students are taught to sit for long day in a classrooms and stare at the black board. In this world of innovation we are just bound to textbook dependent learning. Education is very important stage of one’s life, evolution of humans took place, technology is growing faster than we ever imagined, they why not the process, the basics, core of educating people? To bridge the gap between our educational method and how the society presently works specially in our own country India, If we just take a look of newspapers or taking our own examples we will come across the common fact that it only takes an examination to decide your future, which is so stereotypical .
