Top School Brands Of India

India is a home of 10,000 best schools which imparts quality education to students. A good brand attracts students from every part of the country. Therefore, school selection is a serious affair and needs to be done with due diligence following a proper research by parents. It’s a common knowledge to admit children into schools; most of the parents go by neighbours or close relatives’ advice. Though a good piece of advice should be welcomed always, there are certain parameters to assess schools.

Not just that, the everyday growing global competition does not limit the purpose of education only to get a job but also caters to develop a generation of vibrant minds and global leaders.

Our mission is to create individuals who grow up as disciplined, responsible, productive citizens of a democratic country and are confident of their potential, goal oriented, sensitive to their environment and above all, co-creators oftheir own destiny.

LEARNING FOR TODDLERS

Our youngest learners need to feel safe and supported so they can learn with their whole body and all of their senses. In the infant and toddler program at Prometheus,

  • Teacher’s focus is on developing supportive, trusting relationships
  • Create rich environments that encourage very young children to
  • Explore and discover the world around them
  • Help them to engage in experiences designed to support their holistic development.

At Prometheus, we value and respect parents as their children’s first teachers. That’s why we encourage teachers to partner with parents in learning everything they can about their infants and toddlers personalize their needs and plan for their development. As a result, our programs create a strong three-way bond between child, parent, and teacher.

PRIMARY YEARS PROGRAMME

The PYP is a transformative experience for students, teachers and whole school communities. PYP students learn how to take control of their learning, teachers collaborate to deepen student- learning and increase their confidence and self-motivation.

The PYP curriculum follows an inquiry approach to learning and teaching structured under 6 transdisciplinary themes. During the year, under each Theme, the students inquire into one Unit of Inquiry focussing on the specific concept and integrated into other subject areas following a transdisciplinary approach. Students along the inquiry develop a set of skills and attributes essential to succeed in a changing challenging world.

The emphasis on real life situations, decision-making, problem solving, research and action through these Unit of Inquiries nurtures the students into global citizens of the world.

This involves students working collaboratively to conduct an in-depth inquiry into real life issues or problems.

SECONDARY SCHOOL PROGRAMME

With this belief in our mind and passion in our heart we took off on our journey of educating our students, by launching our new branch Gitanjali Vedika in these turbulent times. No obstacle could deter us- the management, the teachers, the students and the parents- from coming together, connecting and working towards a common goal of providing quality and wholesome education to the young minds. The hallmark of Gitanjali, backed by 35 years of experience in the field of education, Gitanjali Vedika took its first step forward commencing the session by going online.” This is what the Principal Sonia Nagpal said when asked about the new campus started in June.

They strongly believe that every child who steps into Vedika has the right to quality education. The school understands and caters to the individual needs of the children. Children are encouraged to make learning a way of life thus paving the way for head to toe development of the students.

In today’s fast changing world Gitanjali Vedika focuses on preparing children for the future by giving them a strong ethical grounding along with the ability to analyse and implement. This is because they recognise that educating the Heart (emotional) and the Hand (practical) are just as important as developing the Head (intellectual).

Maintaining positive attitudes, dealing with feelings and emotions, success and failure, connecting with and respecting people are attributes taught to the students through assembly presentations, storytelling sessions, value education and buddy bench classes. Festival celebrations help the students stay connected with the roots of Indian culture and community.

To develop competencies and confidence in the students, and make them aware about the dignity of labour, the activities related to HAND (physical development)are embedded in the educational programme.

Every child is a reservoir of infinite capacity and potential. Keeping this in mind they provide their children with ample opportunities to develop their creativity and showcase their talents. The vast playground and courts for basketball and badminton,music and dance labs help students learn important skills and remain active. Yoga sessions, sports, dance and karate classes help to instil teamwork, leadership qualities, discipline in the students. These classes infuse in the students a strong sense of self-worth, and provide them opportunities to strive for achievable goals.

The alchemy of mixing technology and education

To meet the surging demand for a workforce with up-to-date skills and competencies aligned with globally competitive industries and education systems in India have to embrace information and communication technology. The COVID crisis has compelled the usage of ICT in education.

ICT allows students to monitor and manage their own learning, think critically and creatively, solve simulated real-world problems, work collaboratively, engage in ethical decision-making, and adopt a global perspective towards issues and ideas. It also provides students from remote areas access to expert teachers and learning resources, and gives administrators and policy makers the data and expertise they need to work more efficiently.

However, access to ICT in the region’s schools is limited due to infrastructure constraints, a lack of investment and research into the uses of ICT in education, and a lack of capacity of teachers and school leaders to use ICT to enhance the quality of teaching and learning.

Another challenge is equity, including financial, gender, and racial fairness in access to education. Efficiency and accountability also needs to be improved. This includes improving student–teacher ratios as well as retention and dropout rates. The education provided also needs to be relevant to socioeconomic conditions, such as matching skills taught to those valued by the global market.

ICT provides the opportunity to transform teaching, learning, and management practices in schools. The need for this transformation is urgent, given the increasingly globalized world in which students and teachers now live. Without it, as future graduates they could end up as part of a workforce that cannot keep up with the demands of the 21st century.

This edition of digitalLEARNING Magazine highlights the new age school and usage of ICT in education in the COVID-era.
