True education makes for inequality; the inequality of
individuality, the inequality of success, the glorious inequality of
talent, of genius.
Strategy is to strengthen and support the existing government school
education and reach the SY intervention to a large number of
students.
SY supports academics and introduces music, sports, theatre,
computer.
Objectives
To establish public - private partnership model with an aim to
improve the quality of formal education in government schools and
concurrently impart relevant vocational skills to equip the young
citizens.
SY works in government schools, to make education meaningful and
fun, improve student enrollment and attendance and bring down school
drop-out rate. By adopting teaching methodologies that inspire a
sense of discovery and transform learning into a joyous experience
for children. We infuse quality in education through creative and
innovative methods of delivering the content based on the syllabus
drawn by the concerned boards of education
Search Years partners with individuals, corporates and organizations
to have them share their knowledge equity by placing highly
qualified and motivated educators from the community in government
schools to improve the quality of education in the under- served and
challenging schools (e.g. Times of India through Teach India, Bank
of America, Hindustan Unilever etc). Our volunteer educators from
the community engage in active teaching of academic, environmental,
cultural and art education by using creative tools, interactive
mediums and play, thereby enhancing impact and wonder in the
learning process
SY plans to reach out to 3000 children in the 1st phase of the
program (2008-09).
SY develops art programs, fills the void in arts education and
aesthetics in the schools. Search Years provides education that is
holistic and has vocational linkages by maximizing the utilization
of available resources i.e schools, teachers and the community.
Plans
Formulate a program of teacher training and motivation as
educational resources based on the data collected by SY
educators currently teaching in the schools, towards the aim to
equip the government school teachers of Gurgaon to discharge
their role meaningfully.
Establish Libraries in the school and inculcate to habit of
reading
Forge alliances on one hand with individuals and
institutions which are the knowledge and resource provider’s
viz. technical and academic institutes, museums and
archeological sites, libraries, academies, parks, youth
organizations and arts, scientific and cultural organizations.
Make use of the existing Infrastructure
Partner with existing schools within the prevailing system,
conditions and with the existing faculty and the concerned
district educational authorities and boards, have them subscribe
to the ‘Masti ki Paathshala’ program and make them provide
congenial space for setting up the ‘digital centers’ and ‘art
rooms’ and have them commit to expose children to the program.
