Careers 360
|October 2018
Sunanda Ali, Principal of The Peepal Grove School, an independent school in Chittoor district, shares her views on alternative education with Faizal Khan
-
Q. What is the significance of alternative education in India’s educational landscape?
A. India is very large and very diverse. Each school is in a particular social and cultural context. It is not possible, practical or wise to look for a ‘one size fits all’ model, which can be applied to all schools across the country. Hence, the need for alternative education, where schools are given the opportunity to focus on educational goals based on their vision.
Q. Please comment on the role of critical thinking and freedom in the classroom.
