Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world- Nelson Mandela
Quality education is a human right and a public good. Governments and other public authorities should ensure that a quality education service is available freely to all citizens from early childhood into adulthood.
Quality education has also been stressed by International organisations such as UNICEF and UNESCO. According to a draft presented by UNICEF Quality education includes:
- Learners who are healthy, well-nourished and ready to participate and learn, and supported in learning by their families and communities;
- Environments that are healthy, safe, protective and gender-sensitive, and provide adequate resources and facilities;
- Content that is reflected in relevant curricula and materials for the acquisition of basic skills, especially in the areas of literacy, numeracy and skills for life, and knowledge in such areas as gender, health, nutrition, HIV/AIDS prevention and peace.
- Processes through which trained teachers use child-centred teaching approaches in well-managed classrooms and schools and skilful assessment to facilitate learning and reduce disparities.
- Outcomes that encompass knowledge, skills and attitudes, and are linked to national goals for education and positive participation in society.
This definition allows for an understanding of education as a complex system embedded in a political, cultural and economic context. **
The requirement for Quality education become more relevant in India as most of our population is young. St. Mary’s is one of the Best schools in Kalyan and we constantly strive to provide good quality education which leads to a holistic development of the child. Our teachers are trained and qualified to provide the best guidance and teachings to the students. Education cannot be complete unless our minds are at peace. Our focus on spiritual learning, on-campus counsellors, emotional intelligence, good quality sports facilities, sensitivity to nature and co- curricular ensure an all-round development of the child.
Having said that, St. Mary’s is also abreast in terms of technology and we use up to date teaching aids in our digital classrooms. This is what makes St. Mary’s the best CBSE school in Kalyan.
