A school without textbooks
We need to nurture skills, encourage
children to engage with environment
When in 1999 we started a school
without prescribed textbooks, the reactions ranged from mild surprise and
amusement to anxiety, even shock and indignation. A school without textbooks?
How would children learn? Yet, after 18 years, our data shows that these
children are faring as well, and in many cases even better, than their
counterparts who studied in schools with prescribed textbooks. From
kindergarten to Class 10, children at the Mahatma Gandhi
International School (a PPP with the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation) learnt
through real life projects that they voted for or proposed and then prepared
for their exams in grades 11 and 12.
