What School For My Child?
Children struggling to achieve marks & grades, syllabus made for internal competition and school systems working around examinations: how are the children going to Learn? What and how are they going to gain skills for life? How are they going to start thinking? Is there an alternative to all this based on what the government has outlined? Can the child get a alternative that makes her think, based on child centric methods and content, Making them think rationally and concentrated on developing the individual child’s capabilities & skills? Is there an alternative that works on the child’s personal ecological life skills as well as the school content. Yes there is Paryay Parisanstha’s
