| alternative schooling in india: Alternative Schooling in India Sarojini Vittachi, Neeraja Raghavan, Kiran Raj, 2007-12-18 This book brings into focus the innovative methods of learning in many Indian schools. It sheds light on schools that make the learning process fun for the teacher as well as the taught, in contrast to the whirl of examination-oriented learning in mainstream schools. The researched data on alternative schools in the country offer the reader an array of institutions all over the country, where efforts are being made to move away from traditional and mainstream learning. It includes exclusive articles by leading practitioners in the field, who offer an insight into the ground reality when a certain philosophy is applied to a school, and also experiential accounts of how such alternative practices mould the learner, teacher and impact the parent as well. The book also consists of a directory of alternative schools in India, including many schools that are tucked away in remote corners of the country. Interestingly, the common thread binding these ‘alternative schools’ is concern for the welfare of the child by teachers who see their work as much more than a job. |

| alternative schooling in india: Alternative Education Yoshiyuki Nagata, 2007-03-30 Alternative streams of education have been and remain an important but difficult theme for teachers, parents, policy-makers, and scholars. By focusing on case studies of six countries (Bolivia, Thailand, Australia, USA, The Netherlands, and Denmark), and by comprehensively analysing these by means of international comparative methodologies, the author approaches the nuts and bolts issues of alternative and mainstream education systems. The case studies include Charter Schools in the USA and Waldorf Schools in Australia. The study presents not only an insightful analysis of alternative forms of education with regard to actual issues in societies and also legal and administrative features of education. It provides insights into the kind of school development that could be appropriate in the 21st century and the types of educational communities we should seek to create in the age of globalisation. |

| alternative schooling in india: The Challenge to Care in Schools, 2nd Editon Nel Noddings, 2015-04-26 After a decade of educational reforms, The Challenge to Care in Schools is even more relevant now than when it was first published. In her new Introduction, Nel Noddings revisits her seminal book and places care as central to current debates on standardization, accountability, privatization, and the continuous struggle between traditional and progressive methods of education. Rather then forcing one side to yield to the other, this book advocates an alternative, “responsive system” that will allow the best ideas to flourish. In the Second Edition, Noddings once again envisions a school system built on the idea that different people have different strengths, and that these strengths should be cultivated in an environment of caring, not of competition. She suggests that if we make the responsiveness characteristic of caring more basic than accountability, we can accommodate both traditional and progressive preferences in one school system to the benefit of all . . . especially the children. Chapters address the practical and theoretical questions involved in organizing traditional and nontraditional areas of study around themes of care. Introductory chapters focus on caring in general and on the problems of liberal education, while the final chapter offers sound advice for implementing a caring curriculum in our schools. Praise for the First Edition! A welcome addition to the often fragmented discussion of what children need and what school and education should be. —Harvard Educational Review I recommend this book to all concerned about education, personally and/or professionally. —Journal of Moral Education In the morass of school reform that calls for such changes as national standards, improved assessments, and new ways of organizing schooling, Noddings provides lucid thinking about the priorities we ought to consider. —Teachers College Record |
| alternative schooling in india: The Rebirth of Education Lant Pritchett, 2013-09-30 Despite great progress around the world in getting more kids into schools, too many leave without even the most basic skills. In India’s rural Andhra Pradesh, for instance, only about one in twenty children in fifth grade can perform basic arithmetic. The problem is that schooling is not the same as learning. In The Rebirth of Education, Lant Pritchett uses two metaphors from nature to explain why. The first draws on Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstrom’s book about the difference between centralized and decentralized organizations, The Starfish and the Spider. Schools systems tend be centralized and suffer from the limitations inherent in top-down designs. The second metaphor is the concept of isomorphic mimicry. Pritchett argues that many developing countries superficially imitate systems that were successful in other nations— much as a nonpoisonous snake mimics the look of a poisonous one. Pritchett argues that the solution is to allow functional systems to evolve locally out of an environment pressured for success. Such an ecosystem needs to be open to variety and experimentation, locally operated, and flexibly financed. The only main cost is ceding control; the reward would be the rebirth of education suited for today’s world. |
| alternative schooling in india: Childhoods in India T. S. Saraswathi, Shailaja Menon, Ankur Madan, 2017-08-31 This book highlights the significance of an interdisciplinary approach to understanding children and childhoods in the Indian context. While it is recognised that multiple kinds of childhoods exist in India, policy and practice approaches to working with children are still based on a singular model of the ideal child rooted in certain Western traditions. The book challenges readers to go beyond the acknowledgement of differences to evolving alternate models to this conception of children and childhoods. Bringing together well-known scholars from history, politics, sociology, child development, paediatrics and education, the volume represents four major themes: the history and politics of childhoods; deconstructing childhoods by analysing their representations in art, mythology and culture in India; selected facets of childhoods as constructed through education and schooling; and understanding issues related to law, policy and practice, as they pertain to children and childhoods. This important book will be useful to scholars and researchers of education, especially those working in the domains of child development, sociology of education, educational psychology, public policy and South Asian studies. |

| alternative schooling in india: Learning to Live Together Harmoniously Jwalin Patel, 2023-04-13 This book calls for an expanded vision of holistic education that emphasizes togetherness and harmony through the discovery of oneself, others, and the larger society. It brings together teachers’ voices, experiences, and practices for such an education with Southern Knowledge, philosophy and ideologies proposed by Indian philosophers and spiritual leaders like Aurobindo, the Dalai Lama, Gandhi, Krishnamurti, and Tagore. The book reconceptualizes and extends UNESCO's Learning To Live Together to emphasize Learning to Live Together Harmoniously (LTLTH) and develops a novel conceptual framework for it. The book also explores how LTLTH can be translated into practice; calling for a continuum of harmonious lived experiences created through experiential and project based pedagogy, systems and processes for autonomy and autonomous behaviour regulation, empathetic teacher student relations, schoolwide ethos of harmonious living, and teachers’ ways of living and being. |

| alternative schooling in india: J. Krishnamurti and Educational Practice Meenakshi Thapan, 2018-07-27 First in the series on Education and Society in South Asia, this volume focuses on the educational thought of a world-renowned teacher, thinker, and writer—Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986). This edited volume examines Krishnamurti’s work and explores his contemporary relevance in educational endeavours and practices in different parts of the country. The contributors to the volume argue that Krishnamurti sought to change the way education is perceived, from the mere teaching of curriculum into a life-changing experience of learning from relationships and life. Through a range of essays that address diverse issues and themes, the contributors seek to uncover the practices and processes at some of the institutions that Krishnamurti established in different parts of rural and urban India. These include essays on curriculum building, inclusive education, pedagogy, debates on educational philosophy and practice, and teacher education. They help bring out the barriers and breakthroughs in the educational processes as practiced in these schools and how they may further be applied to other educational institutions. |
| alternative schooling in india: Rewilding Education Hilary Cremin, 2025-07-25 Rewilding Education calls for a radical, system-wide reinvention of education as an adaptable ecosystem; less predictable and measurable, but far more suitable for shaping the adults of tomorrow. By encouraging us to transform how we think about education in what is left of the twenty-first century, Hilary Cremin connects directly with educators, parents, young people and policymakers to share a vision for healthy education settings and societies that nurture both human flourishing and sustainable ecosystems. Full of ideas about what rewilding might look like when applied to education, Hilary Cremin evidences how education has been, and can be, successfully rewilded in schools and classrooms, including case studies from unexpected places like Kerala in India, where literacy rates exceed those in the United States. By combining academic research, poetry and examples from around the world, the book will inspire the next generation of educators, decision-makers and families to take practical steps towards the education our children need and deserve. |
| alternative schooling in india: Sociology of Education in Canada, Karen Robson, 2012-10-03 Sociology of Education in Canada utilizes a contemporary theoretical focus to analyze how education in Canada is affected by pre-existing and persistent inequalities among members of society. It presents the historical and cultural factors that have shaped our current education system, examines the larger social trends that have contributed to present problems, discusses the various interest groups involved, and analyzes the larger social discourses that influence any discussion of these issues. To achieve this, Karen Robson uses many current, topical, and relatable issues in Canadian education to ensure that readers fully comprehend the information being presented and leave with an appreciation of how the sociology of education is inextricably linked to issues of stratification. |
| alternative schooling in india: Positive Schooling and Child Development Sibnath Deb, 2018-07-20 This volume discusses the importance of positive schooling in producing responsible and potentially productive adults. Students are generally more motivated to do well and to realize their full potential in schools that have a positive schooling climate, where they feel safe, included and supported. Nevertheless, the reality in today's schools is very different. This volume discusses the major challenges faced by children and adolescents in schools, including problems with curricula, safety issues, lack of inclusive policies, non-availability of teachers, ineffective teaching, insensitivity towards students’ issues, improper evaluation methods, harmful disciplinary measures, and so on. Experts in child psychology and education discuss these issues at length in this volume and offer viable solutions for policymakers, school administrators, teachers and parents to make suitable changes and create a positive atmosphere in educational institutions. This volume further discusses the role of various stakeholders---school principals, teachers, counsellors and psychologists---in addressing these challenges. In addition, it raises other, emerging issues which have not been covered in previous volumes on this topic and offers evidence-based suggestions to address them. The intended readership of the volume is researchers and students of psychology, education, sociology, social work and public health, and school teachers, administrators and teacher-trainers. |

| alternative schooling in india: Creative Schools Sir Ken Robinson, PhD, Lou Aronica, 2015-04-21 A revolutionary reappraisal of how to educate our children and young people by Ken Robinson, the New York Times bestselling author of The Element and Finding Your Element. Ken Robinson is one of the world’s most influential voices in education, and his 2006 TED Talk on the subject is the most viewed in the organization’s history. Now, the internationally recognized leader on creativity and human potential focuses on one of the most critical issues of our time: how to transform the nation’s troubled educational system. At a time when standardized testing businesses are raking in huge profits, when many schools are struggling, and students and educators everywhere are suffering under the strain, Robinson points the way forward. He argues for an end to our outmoded industrial educational system and proposes a highly personalized, organic approach that draws on today’s unprecedented technological and professional resources to engage all students, develop their love of learning, and enable them to face the real challenges of the twenty-first century. Filled with anecdotes, observations and recommendations from professionals on the front line of transformative education, case histories, and groundbreaking research—and written with Robinson’s trademark wit and engaging style—Creative Schools will inspire teachers, parents, and policy makers alike to rethink the real nature and purpose of education. |

| alternative schooling in india: School Dropout and Completion Stephen Lamb, Eifred Markussen, Richard Teese, Nina Sandberg, John Polesel, 2010-11-29 School dropout remains a persistent and critical issue in many school systems, so much so that it is sometimes referred to as a crisis. Populations across the globe have come to depend on success at school for establishing careers and gaining access to post-school qualifications. Yet large numbers of young people are excluded from the advantages that successful completion of school brings and as a result are subjected to consequences such as higher likelihood of unemployment, lower earnings, greater dependence on welfare and poorer physical health and well-being. Over recent decades, most western nations have stepped up their efforts to reduce drop out and raise school completion rates while maintaining high standards. How school systems have approached this, and how successful they are, varies. This book compares the various approaches by evaluating their impact on rates of dropout and completion. Case studies of national systems are used to highlight the different approaches including institutional arrangements and the various alternative secondary school programs and their outcomes. The evaluation is based on several key questions: What are the main approaches? How do they work? For whom do they work? And, how successful are they in promoting high rates of completion and equivalent outcomes for all? This book examines the nature of the dropout problem in advanced industrialized countries with the goal of developing a broader, international understanding that can feed into public policy to help improve completion rates worldwide. |
| alternative schooling in india: Emerging Issues in Education KHRITISH SWARGIARY, 2025-05-01 Education is the cornerstone of societal progress, yet it is constantly evolving in response to the changing needs and challenges of our world. In recent years, we have witnessed significant shifts in educational paradigms, influenced by factors such as globalization, technological innovation, and socio-economic transformations. This book, Emerging Issues in Education, is an attempt to explore and understand these contemporary challenges and developments that are shaping the future of education. The book is divided into five units, each addressing a critical aspect of modern education. Unit 1 delves into the persistent issue of social inequality in education, examining constitutional safeguards and the specific challenges faced by disadvantaged groups such as Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), minorities, and those from regions like the Char area of Assam, as well as backward children, child laborers, street children, slum dwellers, and the disparities arising from gender and rural-urban divides. Unit 2 explores the impacts of liberalization, privatization, and globalization on education, including the role of public-private partnerships and the conceptualization of education as an investment. Unit 3 shifts focus to the students themselves, addressing issues such as youth unrest, campus disturbances, examination anxiety, and the growing problem of educated unemployment, analyzing their causes and potential remedies. Unit 4 highlights the importance of environmental and population education, discussing pressing environmental issues like global warming, ozone depletion, and pollution, alongside the role of education in promoting sustainable development and addressing population explosion through population education. Finally, Unit 5 examines multi-cultural education and alternative education methods, covering the objectives and curriculum of multi-cultural education, the role of institutions like the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), Sakshar Bharat Mission, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), and Krishna Kanta Handiqui State Open University (KKHSOU), as well as the emergence of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and their associated challenges. These units collectively provide a comprehensive overview of the multifaceted challenges and opportunities in the field of education today. By engaging with these emerging issues, students will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of the educational landscape and be better equipped to contribute to its improvement. Whether as future educators, policymakers, or informed citizens, the knowledge gained from this book will empower readers to critically engage with educational systems and advocate for positive change. This book is specifically designed to align with the curriculum of the Four Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP) at Gauhati University, tailored for 5th semester B.A. students enrolled in the course Emerging Issues in Education (Course Code: 300-399). Each unit is structured to support both classroom learning and self-study, offering a balanced blend of theoretical concepts and practical insights. The learning outcomes are clearly defined, enabling students to track their progress and grasp the key takeaways from each section. In compiling this book, we have drawn upon a wide range of scholarly works, policy documents, and case studies to provide a well-rounded perspective on each topic. We extend our gratitude to the many educators, researchers, and practitioners whose insights have enriched our understanding of these emerging issues. As you embark on this journey through the emerging issues in education, we encourage you to reflect critically on the material, engage in discussions with your peers and instructors, and consider how these issues manifest in your own educational experiences and communities. Education is not merely a field of study but a powerful tool for social transformation, and it is our hope that this book will inspire you to become active participants in shaping its future.

| alternative schooling in india: Teacher Quality and Education Policy in India Preeti Kumar, Alexander W. Wiseman, 2021-03-31 By drawing on quantitative data and qualitative analyses of five major national education policies implemented in India over the last 15 years, this comprehensive volume explores their impact on teacher quality and perceived effectiveness, explaining how this relates to variations in student performance. Responding to a national agenda to increase the quality of the Indian teacher workforce, Teacher Quality and Education Policy in India critically questions the application of human capital theory to Indian education policy. Chapters provide in-depth and strategically structured analyses of five national policies – including the recently approved National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 – to see how Indian policymakers use teacher quality as a driver and measurement of education and national economic development. Ultimately, the text offers evidence-based policy recommendations to improve teacher quality in India, suggesting that while all five policies have contributed significant frameworks and recommendations for teacher quality reform, they have failed to move beyond a symbolic function. Given its rigorous methodological approach, this book will be a valuable addition to the under-researched question of education policymaking in postcolonial contexts. It will be an indispensable resource not only for scholars working on policymaking in the Indian context, but also for those working at the intersection of education, teacher development, and policymaking in developing countries. |
| alternative schooling in india: India Infrastructure Report 2012 Idfc Foundation, 2016-04-08 Today, India’s education sector remains a victim of poor policies, restrictive regulations and orthodoxy. Despite being enrolled in schools, children are not learning adequately. Increasingly, parents are seeking alternatives through private inputs in school and tuition. Students are dropping out from secondary school in spite of high financial returns of secondary education, and those who do complete it have inferior conceptual knowledge. Higher education is over-regulated and under-governed, keeping away serious private providers and reputed global institutes. Graduates from high schools, colleges and universities are not readily employable, and few are willing to pay for skill development. Ironically, the Right to Education Act, if strictly enforced, will result in closure of thousands of non-state schools, and millions of poor children will be left without access to education. Eleventh in the series, India Infrastructure Report 2012 discusses challenges in the education sector — elementary, secondary, higher, and vocational — and explores strategies for constructive change and opportunities for the private sector. It suggests that immediate steps are required to reform the sector to reap the benefits from India’s ‘demographic dividend’ due to a rise in the working age population. Result of a collective effort led by the IDFC Foundation, this Report brings together a range of perspectives from academics, researchers and practitioners committed to enhancing educational practices. It will be an invaluable resource for policymakers, researchers and corporates. |

The policy’s emphasis on technology integration, multidisciplinary learning, and innovation in pedagogy is critically discussed. The volume also addresses implementation challenges—ranging from administrative hurdles and resource constraints to socio-cultural barriers—offering a balanced perspective on both the opportunities and limitations of the NEP. With its thoughtful analyses and diverse viewpoints, this collection provides a holistic understanding of the NEP’s potential to shape an equitable, inclusive, and future-ready education system in India. |
