Education
has been described as the liberation of a person's inner powers of the
mind and the body. This hints at the development of mental and physical
talent. This is possible, only with the resources to nurture talent and
a dedicated staff, encouraging children to blossom into excellent human
beings.
Excellence
is the very essence of education and the ultimate objectives-excellence
in character, excellence in work and play, excellence in citizenship and
excellence in culture. We must learn to be sensitive to other people's
feelings, and sensitive to the needs of the country.
Yet a second and equally important
ingredient will have to be the ability to face the challenge of newness.
No longer is it sufficient for our children to understand the past. They
must learn to anticipate the direction and rate of change. They must
learn to make repeated and increasingly long-range assumptions about the
future; and so must their teachers. It is only by generating such
assumptions, debating, systematizing and continuously updating them,
that we can deduce the nature of the cognitive and effective skills that
the people of tomorrow will need to survive the 'acceleration' thrust.
Neerja Modi School in its own small way
contributes to the Education for Tomorrow for our children. While paying
regard to the past, our eyes will firmly try to focus on the future. We
hope to equip our laboratories and computer labs with teachers and
machines and technology, which will prepare our children for the future.
Children will be encouraged to discover things for themselves. Tutorials
of five or six pupils are the central focus of academics, co-curricular
activities & sports at the school.
