 Good Education should
engage the whole personality and happen in real life context. It should be
student centered, be a process of problem solving and result in mutual
communication between the teacher and the taught. For this reason the role
of teacher should be different than the usual "The One Who Knows all". The two commonly upheld
educational arguments are best understood against two different educational
approaches. The first one is the knowledge centered traditionalist view
where as the second one is that kind of child centered education which
believes that uninhibited free expression is the basis of a child's natural
learning. Our own Philosophy however is somewhere between the two. We
respect knowledge but along with it we advocate that education must deal
with the other parts of the personality too.
 A liberal education
serves to broaden horizons, break down prejudices, and build inquiring
minds. It is of value no matter what the students goal may be. Theatre and drama are
concerned with all aspects of human experiences. They help children to
imaginatively enter experiences. This process enables them to order,
clarify and understand their own lives and the world in which they live.
Theatre is a form of human
knowledge, but one that functions through feeling as much as through
thought.
