Empowering
students to change lives Syndicate Education Society (SES), an NGO working
for children is currently operating Sweet Williams international School (NGO
for child education) in the village Nilje Palava City near Dombivali in Thane
District, Maharashtra State, to promote rural education in India. Here free
high-quality education and nourishing food supplement are being offered to
pre-primary & primary school students.
The school currently operates from pre-primary to
10th standard.
The teaching methodology offers the latest and best
teaching techniques producing excellent results.
All the students are from poor families; coming from
the open category, from minorities, and from reserved class. |
Teaching
Methodology In our approach to education, writing begins only in
the 1st grade. However, a lot of pre-reading and pre-writing experiences such
as threading the needle, putting seeds and beads on shapes, sight reading
etc. are provided to create a background for the same. These help in motor
development of the child.
School lays great emphasis on teaching subjects
holistically with a 'system as a whole' approach. The project method is used
for the same.
The use of blackboard is minimized and all teaching
goes from actual hands-on concrete work to abstraction. Even abstract
subjects like history & geography are made experiential by arranging
field trips, enacting plays, tracing one's own history etc.
The school tries to minimize the role of a teacher
as the controller and driver of the educational process and instead makes her
just a facilitator trying to scaffold the learning.
All threats in the form of punishments are banned in
the school. The teacher is more of a friend, philosopher and guide. |
Help Change Lives
Changing Lives...
Rural education in India is still not easily accessible to a
large part of the population due to a lack of facilities, teachers, and funds.
Education and rural development are important factors to bridge the economic
and social gap within the country by extending proper education in rural parts
of our country. We strive toward bridging this socio- economic gap in society
by providing education to these underprivileged kids, in a unique and
innovative teaching model.
We believe that every child in India is unique and, deserves a
high-quality education regardless of their background, caste, color, race, or
any other factor, and we need to be responsive to those who are disadvantaged,
vulnerable, and marginalized. You can be part of this journey, this dream, this
movement by doing your bit, by connecting with our charitable organization.
Donations can be one of the forms you can be connected with the cause of rural
education in India.
